"We're in Hawaii!" I yell, spinning around in the parking lot.

"Yay!" Aviella screams.

She runs to the car that Justin pointed to and waits for us because we don't have time for running.

"We're going to the beach, we're going to the beach!" Aviella says.

Justin opens her door as I put Bella's car seat in the back seat. We got a rental car just in case we didn't feel like walking, which probably wouldn't happen very often.

I get in the car next to Bella and close the door before Justin drives out of the parking lot.

"First thing we need to do. Find a  Walmart and buy diapers." He says.

"Sounds like a good idea to me, since in the most intelligent human being to ever live and I only pack enough diapers to be on a plane and in an airport."

"Was that on purpose or an accident?"

"On purpose, obviously."

"Is it really obvious, Ariana?"

"Yes, Justin. It is."

"I really like this flower necklace they gave me. We've only been here for some minutes and they're already giving me free stuff." Aviella says.

"It's called a lei, baby." I laugh.

"I like that name. I want that to be my name. I demand that you call me Lei from now on."

"Yes, mommy dearest." I reply.

"My name is Lei!"

"Okay. I apologize, Lei."

"No, I changed my mind. My name is Avi Lei."

"Whatever you say. But you do realize that you can't legally change your name unless I say so, or until you're 18."

"Why?" Aviella whines.

That is hilarious. Not that I'm laughing at my princess or anything. It's just hilarious.

"Because it's the law. No further questions, because this conversation will get way too deep way too quick."

"What do you mean?" Aviella asks, completely ignoring my previous statement.

"We're here!" Justin saves me from having to answer Aviella and I smile.

This is why he's my husband. Or one of the many reasons he's my husband. Another reason is because I love him to death, that's probably the first reason actually. But also because he saves me from having to answer Aviella's many, many questions.

"Great! Isn't that great! Let's go, let's go. The faster we get out of here, the faster we get to the hotel/beach."

I get out of the car and take Bella out of her car seat because I don't feel like holding it, even though my lovely husband wouldn't mind carrying it himself.

Aviella, oh I'm sorry, Avi Lei and Justin come around to my side of the car and we walk inside the Walmart.

We go straight back to the baby stuff, with Justin making sure Aviella doesn't get a chance to like anything she sees. To keep her busy, I give her the task of finding the right diapers for Bella.

"The bag has to say Huggies and it has to have a giant one on it. Bella wears a size one, okay?"

"I got this mommy." Aviella/ Avi Lei pats my leg since she can't reach my shoulder and I smile.
