'Just Rewards (2)'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
and it was just a four year old being a four year old.
Ah. Well, at 4 they'll say all kinds of things which sting but don't mean much in the big scheme of things. Tell Dave not to sweat it. They're not especially kind at that age, and he's already established his role as Giving Things Uncle, which is not a bad role. Also, the undiluted bluntness is probably a sign of comfort with him.
Based on stories today, this kid is blunt and often, and would probably get into trouble with it more often if he wasn't the cutest thing with a smile that could kill you ded. Yet, amazingly, neither kid said to me, "why do you walk funny?". I don't think Dave is worrying about it too much, it was just the initial sting.
Tired. Sunburnt.
Kelly tweaked her ankle. Her team came in 3rd out of 22 teams. The top two qualified for Seattle. Her team has one more shot in a VERY tough tournament to qualify for Seattle - so we will likely end up in New Mexico in early August instead.
Hopefully her ankle will be better soon, otherwise - well, I don't want to think about otherwise. She needs to be in playing health. gah.
Did I mention tired and sunburnt?
Poor K-Bug, quick healing~ma to her ankle.
Yeah, probably. Sucks to be Dave in that moment, though. But at least he *is* four, you know? Well, Hecubus, poor Munch's marriages probably ended in cursing and restraining orders. Kay would just shoot him, which is probably a strange reason for a OTP.

She never would. She has plenty of living ex-boyfriends. She'd never fuck up her life for a guy.

All the Munch talk reminds me that I bought my brother an inflatable Scream, which now keeps horrified watch over our living room.
Wally report! Over the weekend we had dinner with my dad, who was in town. When she left for the bathroom for a while, D sees fit to inform me that "you're not going to find anyone better". Which is either a vote of confidence in the Wallybee, or a sign that he does not recognise the powers of attraction of Wally. I'm choosing to interpret it charitably.
Less enjoyable, the prospect of moving to Geelong has been distressing the Wallybee. She's worried about what it will mean for our relationship. When I first started going out with Bec she lived two hours away from me, so this is not new for me; but it is for the Wallybee, what with me being her first real boyfriend. I have offered reassurances and hugs, which seemed to work.
However, when he opened his gift today he said to Dave, "Can you not buy me comics anymore? I want toys." I felt so bad for Dave, because I know he thought he was doing a really cool thing for his nephew.Ouch.
I think she handled it pretty well, and it was just a four year old being a four year old.Oh, he's only four? That's a whole different ballgame. Tell Dave not to sweat it at all. Tomorrow, the comic books will probably be his favorite. Really. Four year olds' tastes make the wind look like its stuck in its ways.

I must have missed a Wally update along the way. She's moving? When? Why? Does she have to?
