There she was. Signing her brother out from daycare and she immediately walked past me and ignored me. Poor Caleb. He reached out and tried to hold Cindy's hand but she just pulled him away and picked him up. He started to cry and he didn't understand why he couldn't say bye to his friend.
Cindy began to have a pouty face and she hugged me. "Is Jenny mad at me?", she asked. I looked at her and kissed her forehead. "No sweetheart. She's mad at me. Not at you." She hugged me back and said, "Well, can't you just say sorry?"
I sighed at her suggestion. "I wish it were that easy, sweet pea." I picked her up, places her on my lap, and we rode off to my new apartment.

She shrugged her shoulders and ate from her baggie of Cheerios. I smiled. "Well it's Friday. Let's go give it back to him so he can play with it over the weekend. Come on." I picked her up and drove to Jenny's house.
