October 2011. Living at the house.
One night Lindsay was unhappy about something. Audrey and I caught her being unhappy and tried our best to make her un-unhappy.
Lindsay has a cup that she usually keeps in the fridge with water in it that is awesome and zebra-y. She said, "I want my zebra cup..." and started to head upstairs to grab it.
Audrey stopped her and said, "No, let me go grab it for you." So 10 seconds later Audrey was back with the cup. But it's empty...
She hands it to Lindsay. Linds takes it, looks at it, and takes a slurpy sip to suck up the last few drops in the bottom. "Thanks. I feel so much better now."
Audrey claimed it wasn't clear that Lindsay asking for the cup meant she wanted it to be filled with water.
"I thought that the cup just brought you comfort or something!"
From then on if Lindsay asked for her zebra cup, it had to be dumped out before it was handed to her.
