"You would think I didn't feed her," I murmur, shaking my head. "Or that my fingers are coated in invisible sugar." I laugh slightly, then smile slightly. "That's good, certainly."

"I think it's the second one,"I nod,"I swear, all babies are obbessed with fingers, trying to eat them, twist them in way that they shouldn't go, it's crazy,"

"And why not?" I shrug, mystified. "I mean, I know how many times I've been fascinated by my own fingers."

I can't help but laugh,"Sorry, rather keep my fingers thanks,"

"Never said I wouldn't." I laugh slightly. "Just that I can understand, I think, why babies like them so much."

"Well, now you have bonded over something," I grin, tucking a loose strand of hair back behind my ear.

"Guess we have." I laugh slightly. "Though I doubt she realizes."

"Start reminding her everyday as she gets older," I grin,"Then you can guilt her with it later, works on Alex."

"And why would I do that?" I ask, laughing again. "That's a horrible thing to do."

"Alright," I grin, holding my hands up in a gesture of surender,"I was just saying. It comes is handy,"

"Ah," I nod. "So you guilt them... which may not be the best way to go about it... not that I really know...." I shrug slightly. For someone who's barely taken care of kids, I've criticized her parenting a few too many times, I think.

"It's effective, just have to make sure you don't use too much guilt. Little tidbits really,"

Post by Arden Patricks on Jun 23, 2008 21:21:30 GMT
"That makes sense," I nod. "But I still don't really plan to use guilt unless I really have to."

"And a surely very useful one," I nod. "For sometime in the future when she stops being sweet'n'innocent. Or maybe for the present with my other niece and nephew."

"It will," I nod,"So, how old are all of them? Any over the age of seven?"

"No," I say, shaking my head. "Micheal is five, Katie is four... and technically not even my niece... and Isobel is two. Why do you ask?"

Shaking my head sympathetically, I make a soft tutting sound in the back of my throat."You poor dear, your in for one hell of a ride."

"They're evil at all ages," I laugh softly,"My neice, Mandy, she's eight year younger then I am, and she's still annoying," I grin wrly.

I think about it for a moment, then dramatically slap my hand to my forehead."Touche'," I grin.
