This morning Lucy played a trick on me.

I set my lunch bag down on the couch as I was walking out the door because I had to get some mail ready to put in the mailbox.  When I came back my lunch bag was gone, but a little girl was sitting on the couch with a small, very small smirk on her face, not looking at me.  As I continued to look at her, she looked up and then back down very quickly, but a wide grin had appeared.  I looked around for my lunch bag, lifting couch cushions, moving drapes, but couldn’t find it.  Lucy was giggling by now.  Finally, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.   “I’m playing a trick on you”, she said through peals of laughter.

I love Lucy.
