I felt sad when...

Penélope: It's my birtay (birthday), Mom!

Me (in Portuguese): No, lovey. Not yet. In June it will be your birthday.

Penélope: It's my party, Mom!

Me: What should your next party theme be? How about a tea party?

Penélope: Yeah! My tea party! Bella coming to my party! Bella going come!

Me: Sorry, lovey. Bella's not going to be here.

Penélope: Why not, Mom? Why not?

Me: Bella is going to Brazil.

Penélope: (Shoulders slumped, very sad face) Why not, Mom? Why not?
