Ah, Snowflake that little big headed mischieveous trickster! When he was younger, he found a special way of embarrassing me. Last night we went for din-din with my parents to an upscale place. Our table dined on Filet(Big Pappy) and blackened Sea Bass(Nana) while Snowflake gorged on the maraschino cherries our server was plying him with long before his grilled cheese and FF's arrived. He really liked her.
I ate the usual rabbit food choices, avoiding the terrible vegetable marinara they have on the menu for vegetarians. It was a really happy night and we were celebrating the fact that my parents had listed and sold their house in less than a week. Snowflake was on his best behavior until he started his new attention getting ploy.
He began his high pitched grunting. Yes, the kind of grunting babies do only when shitting or lifting heavy weights at the gym. Oh, joy! Big Pappy thought he was in fact, pooping. I corrected him. You could see by the devilish little smile curling at the corners of Snowflake's mouth as his nose wrinkled up that he was playing his trump. Luckily he didn't carry on as he has in the past, sensing that something was askew in his surroundings. We finished peacefully and Snowflake the Evil never made another appearance. Is my bambino growing up?

You should name the evil version Ekalfwons. The mischeivous gnome who can gag at will and grunt like nobody's business. Can't wait to se what he comes up with next!
My sof-aloaf does that too, but her's is a high pitch churp. people ask if she's a little birdie. yea, if only! Problem is, it's cute the first 30 times, after that, old people turn down their hearing aides and I start getting dirty looks from the others that have good hearing. Good thing I'm one of those people that don't need other peoples approval for anything. Babies are babies. That's what makes them priceless.
Exactly! I dig the fact that bambinos are TOTAL HEDONISTS. Pure pleasure seekers until they discover inhibitions... that is a sad day.
I forgot to say that is a PERFECT idea, Lotus, gracias!
It is sad when kids learn that people are judging their actions. It's nice when they can just do something because they enjoy it. Wait til he realizes that he can drive you crazy, more enjoyment for himself!
having older kids, i know what you mean about kids realizing they are being judged by their actions. it's just a part of growing up - seeing a 10 year old picking his nose for the fun of it just isn't cute as when he is 2...
funny side story to share. i was at wal mart with my then 3 year old son, now 9. we ran into his preschool teacher at the entrance after i had just put some maxi pads under (for privacy) the cart (they were the only item i had so far).. his teacher and i get to yapping, and then he retrives the pads and shows them to his teacher and says, "these are for when my mommy has blood coming out of her privates!" i was beet red, and she laughed. this must've egged him on, because as soon as we got to talking again, he said, "it's because there's no baby in her tummy!"
"ok, mrs. so-and-so... nice seeing you too! we really gotta get going! tare care, bye!!"
Whoop-pa! Nice! Gotta love the blatant honesty! Just parlay that into the teen years when you have ?'s for them!
