I laughed as Athena played Just Dance on the Wii U.

Me: Go baby , it's ya birthday! 

Athena: Yeah mommy! It's my birthday , I'm gonna party like it's my birthday.

She was hitting nearly all the moves to the song.

The door opened and Leah came in.

Leah: Girls?

Athena: In here , Leah!

Athena never calls Leah mommy or daddy. I don't know why , but then again I don't really care. For some reason , I don't wan't Athena calling Leah daddy. 

Leah came in with her briefcase and a tired smile on her face as she picked up my running daughter.

Leah: Ah hey babygirl. How was school?

Wrong thing to ask cause when it comes to school , Athena will talk ya damn ear off in a heartbeat.

Athena: Oh! It was awesome. There was a new girl today and she was really shy and people thought she was mean but not me. Mommy taught me better , so I became her friend. By lunch time she was really popular but she always stuck by my side. She said I was her first friend so I'm always gonna be her favorite. She's really nice. Her names Kenya but I call I Ken-Ken and sometimes Ke-Ke. Oh , maybe we can have a sleepover this weekend. Ou-

Leah: Okay , that's enough Thena. Go play.

She set her down and Athena looked at Leah then went back to Just Dance without another word. 

Me: You didn't have to do that.

Leah looked over at me as she set the briefcase down on the table.

Leah: Do what?

Me: You didn't have to cut her off like that. You asked her about her day.

I watched as she laughed and began to undo her tie.

Leah: She talks alot baby.

Me: So? Athena , baby come here for a minute.

She paused the game and sat beside me.

Athena: Yes mommy?

Me: Finish telling me about how your day went.

Athena's eyes lit up making me smile.

Athena: Okay so our teacher said we could sit with each other! I'm so excited because I think we're best friends now. We have math , science , music and english with each other but we have different social studies teachers but that's okay because we even ride the same bus! We had to sit three to a seat because we had extra people on our bus , but that's okay too because everybody needs a place to sit.
