Mimi Tries to NEGOTIATE! She Wants to Speed Up the Bath! 🛁 – Baby Monkey Cici
Bath time had only just begun, but Mimi already had strong opinions about it. The warm water was ready, the soap was nearby, and Cici gently placed Mimi into the tub. At first, everything seemed normal. Mimi splashed once, then twice… then she stopped. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a tiny squeak escaped her mouth. Something was different today. Mimi wasn’t in the mood for a long bath.
She looked up at Cici and started making expressive little sounds, waving her hands as if explaining something very important. One hand pointed to the soap, the other toward the towel. Her message was clear: “Can we hurry this up?” Mimi’s face was full of determination, as if she were trying to negotiate the terms of her bath.
Cici couldn’t help but smile. She patiently continued washing Mimi’s arms, but Mimi wasn’t giving up. She leaned forward, tapped the edge of the tub, then looked back at Cici again. Another round of babbling followed, complete with dramatic pauses and tiny head tilts. It looked like a serious discussion, and Mimi was clearly arguing her case.
Every time Cici reached for more soap, Mimi protested with soft squeaks and quick splashes, as if saying, “That part is clean already!” She lifted one foot, then the other, offering them up quickly so the process could move faster. Her impatience was adorable, turning the bath into a playful debate rather than a routine chore.
Cici gently explained through calm movements and soothing touches that bath time wasn’t just about getting clean—it was about relaxing too. Mimi listened for a moment, then shook her head, clearly unconvinced. She tried a new strategy: leaning back dramatically and closing her eyes, pretending to be completely done.
The act didn’t last long. A little splash of warm water brought Mimi back to attention, and she opened her eyes with a curious look. Slowly, she began to relax. The gentle washing, the warm water, and Cici’s steady presence started to work their magic.
By the end of the bath, Mimi had stopped negotiating altogether. She splashed happily, letting out soft, content sounds. Wrapped in a towel afterward, she snuggled into Cici’s arms, calm and cozy. Her earlier urgency was forgotten.
Mimi may have tried to speed things up, but bath time won in the end. With Cici’s patience and love, even a stubborn negotiation turned into a sweet, soothing moment filled with trust and warmth. 🐒💛
