make good

The weather has been so unpredictable here this winter and we were hit with a beautiful, sunny day on Tuesday. R and I took advantage of it and went for a nice, long walk around the neighborhood. We met a small cat and bunny along the way, tucked into a neighbors gate as a giveaway. Of course, being the stingy, strict, and scared-of-bedbugs parent I am I immediately said no, we absolutely could not take them with us. At about the same time, a slightly drunk, smoking, shuffling guy came up and told R to go ahead, take them anyway, that's what they're there for. She, of course, took his advice and pulled the friends down. She could not have been happier about it and snuggled them the whole walk. I guess sometimes as a parent, you just have to listen to the drunk guy.
