.............................................................."Melanie Liza Dalton! Put your shoes on right now or we are not going to go to the park!" My mom scolded three year old me.
"But they are poopy" I reluctantly slid my pink crocs on.
"Since when were you allowed to use that word?"
"Poopy poopy poopy" I laughed.
"Gosh is you weren't so cute..." My mom shook her head.
"Let's go poopy" I giggled again and pulled my mom out the door.
"Duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh, Elmo's world!" I sang as she buckled me into my car seat.
"Do do do do do Dora! do do do do do do Dora! Dora Dora Dora the explora!" I changed songs, kicking my feet as she drove.
"M I c k e y m o u s e Micky mouse Donal guck Micky mouse Donal guck!" My mom unbuckled me and lifted me out. I ran down the big hill to the park.
"Karen!" I heard my mom say and turned around confused. She was hugging another woman. Then she bent down and said something to a little boy hiding behind the woman's leg. No. That's my mom. I was supposed to be getting the attention not him! I stomped over to my mom and Interrupted
"Mommy" I patted her leg. She looked at me and held one finger up then kept talking.
"Mommy!" I said louder. She ignored me.
"MOMMY!"
"Melanie! I'm talking be patient!"
"No it's fine." The woman said.
"Okay Melanie what?"
"I looooovve you soooooo much" I made a sweet face and batted my eyes.
"I love you too Mel."
"Awe she's so sweet." The woman said.
"Melanie, this is my friend Karen. I met her a long time ago when I went to school in Europe." I waved at her slightly. "And this is her son Shawn." The boy looked at me. I looked back at him, squinting my eye.
"What wrong with his eye?" I asked.
Karen laughed while my mom lightly slapped my back.
"He had a lazy eye sweetie. The doctor said it'll mostly go away when he's older."
"Oh. I have a weird eye" I pointed to my right eye, where half of it was brown, unlike my naturally green eyes. Karen bent down to see and I opened my eyes up wide.
"You have very pretty eyes Melanie."
"You can call me Mel. Or Mel bell. Momma only says Melanie when she's mad. Or when she's really mad she says 'MELANIE LIZA DALTON!" I screamed the last part loud and deep. Karen giggled and Shawn smirked. I smiled.
"Momma says too. She say Shawn Peter Raul Mendes." Shawn spoke for the first time.
"Why does he speak not right?" I asked Karen. My mom tapped me on the back again, then answered.
"He speaks fine, you just speak very well for your age."
"Oh. Guess what!" I jumped "I'm gonna be three in two days!"
"Mel baby, your going to be four in two months."
"Yeah!" I jumped again.
"Oh? That's shawns birthday!" Karen exclaimed. I opened my mouth and eyes wide.
"We are twins momma!" Karen giggled. I looked at Shawn, he was smiling.
"Why don't you go play with Shawn Mel? Karen and I are gonna talk."
"Okay" I grabbed shawns hand tightly. He let go of his moms leg and followed me to the play set. I kept hold of his hand as we climbed up the steps then slid down the wide slide together. We both ran to the swings and our moms helped us in then pushed us. We reached out and laughed as we tried to grab each others hands. When we finally did, the swings went all crazy and bang! I banged into shawns swing. I giggled.
"Your my best friend!" I said. Shawn nodded.
"Your my bestest friend!"

"I WANNA GO TO THE PARK!" I screamed as soon as I woke up the next day. My mom set her book down.
"I guess we can do that. Shawn might not be there though."
"No he will be he's my bestest friend" I crossed my arms.
"Baby he might not be..."
"I'm not a baby! I'm a big girl! And big girls go to parks!"
"Okay bab- sweetie. But don't get mad at me if shawns not there" she raised her eyebrows. I smiled and sat down to eat the breakfast she had made me.

"OPEN THE DOOR!" I screamed when we arrived at the park.
"Chill Melanie. You need to calm down!"
"Okay" I pouted. As soon as she set me down I ran to the park.
"Shawn!" I called "Shawn!" I checked the tunnel "Shawn!" I slide down the slide. "SHAWN!"
"Melanie..." My mom walked over to me. "Shawns not here" she hugged me.
"Yes he is!"
"No-"
"SHAWN!" I pushed away from my mom and ran back toward the cars. Shawn was getting out of one. He saw me and let go of his moms hand and ran down the grassy hill to me. He spread out his arms and I tackled him, falling to the ground. We rolled the rest of the way down the hill hugging, landing at my moms feet. I looked up at her.
"Told you!" I pursed my lips and raised my eyebrows. She let out a quick laugh as she helped me and Shawn up of the ground. Shawn was giggling and I giggled with him, taking his hands in mine as we
spun around In circle singing.
