Choking

Dave picked Peyton up, and as they were leaving, Misha came running out of the class to hand Peyton some artwork they’d done earlier. She gave Peyton a big hug and kiss, and Dave said Peyton told her, “You’re choking on me!” Gotta love improper syntax. Dave didn’t know when they got to be such good friends. Maybe it was from the kite-flying that they did!
I told Peyton that we had scheduled a playdate with Misha and Sydney, but that Neha and her mom couldn’t come. She quickly asked, “Then what about her dad?” I told her that they were all busy and couldn’t come. She looked so sad, just staring blankly back at me, saying nothing more. Then she looked like she was going to cry, but then I told her that she can come play next time we get together. She recovered quickly.
