When Zuul woke up from her morning nap today, I took her upstairs to say hi to grandma, as she hadn't seen her yet.
Grandma met us at the top of the stairs and energetically greets Zuul while bending forward for a kiss, which Zuul offers emphatically.
Subversive Dad sees this and watches Zuul offer second and third sloppy baby kisses. He's a bit hurt because the rest of us have to beg for kisses, but Zuul's no dummy. She knows grandma is responsible for ALL THE THINGS! A good majority of her new books, toys and clothes appear on an almost weekly basis --- and this kid knows how to play grandma's shopaholicism to her advantage.
Subversive Dad gets a surprise though. Zuul leans towards him. He leans in expecting his overdue kisses. Unfortunately, Zuul's misunderstood. It was his toast she was after, nothing else.
ALL THE THINGS!! Totally pictured a baby in that crazed line-drawing, surrounded by books and cuddly things. Also, I sorta want to see your interspecies gay egomanic cartoon.
