Cute story but "every day for months" and she never caught on that Piper is a cat? It's like the Brooklyn 99 joke about Scully's dog/wife.
"And then Piper let me pet her for a full hour."
Mother, distracted playing candy crush: "Thats nice darling. Glad you're making friends."
"and then and then and then Piper sat there and threw her leg up and started licking her own butt and threw up behind the bean bag"
That sounds fun honey, what else did you do?
Idk man kids are weird like that. I’d believe it tbh
I'm not seeing a problem there...
Such a cliffhanger though. Now I need to know: Was there or was there not a play date with Piper?

Great job Piper!
My youngest brother came home from daycare everyday talking about how “Jason is sad. Jason was crying”. This went on for several weeks.
Finally we asked the daycare if Jason was okay. Jason was only there for one day.
Your brother met someone, was immediately concerned about why he was crying, and it stuck with him weeks after never seeing him again.
That's a wonderful display of empathy, not just some childish complaint. When we talk about how boys and socialized differently from girls, this is it. How we respond to kid's feelings is how they perceive their own emotions. And if we cue that it is something they ought to grow out of, they will grow out of it.
At that age he carried around a stuffed cow and absolutely loved The Wizard of Oz. Our dad loved musicals as much as martial arts movies. We were blessed to have supportive families. He’s 22 now. I saw him last weekend. He was excited to be babysitting his gf’s pet snake. He’s a good kid.
Rumour is Jason's still crying. If you try hard enough, you can hear his weeping at night.
That's why TLC warned us not to go Jason Waterfalls because that's how you earn a reputation for being a crybaby.
Understandable.
Yeah I would do the same.
Perfect choice, 3y/o.
Same tbh
Piper naaaooooooo
