Gratuitous Domestic Posting - Part I

I can't let the day go by without mentioning that it happens to be the youngest Llama-ette's sixth birthday.

Regular readers will know that I have spent a great many pixels here describing what a swash-buckling brigand the gel can be. And the LMC has had endless fun predicting the body-piercings, biker boyfriends and sky-diving lessons that we can expect to have thrust upon us earlier in her teen years than later.

Well, the good news is that the future is not looking nearly so dire as all that anymore. In recent weeks, the gel has undergone a noticeable behavioral change and is beginning to answer her helm. I'm not sure I can exactly pinpoint specifics, but it is abundantly clear that she has finally made up her mind to start trying.

This is good.

Of course, she still has the table manners of an orangutan, but I begin to feel there's hope even for this.

Happy Birthday! Yip! Yip! Yip!

1 Happy Birthday to her! And if you ever figure out a remedy for orangutan-like table manners, please do pass on the secret.

2 Heh, 'tis just the calm before the storm, designed to lull you into a false sense of security. Just be sure to keep up on the news of all the latest brain scanning machines out there so as to interrogate the potential boyfriends beforehand.

You just crack me up! Enjoy these years, they go so quickly.

BTW, I checked out the site of the Wolf Trap place you all went to for childhood fun and merryment. Sounds like a 6 Tylenol weekend... Not my kind of place and I wouldn't even care if the adult beverages were free!

I recall booking a 6 year old party at Chuck E Cheese. The man on the other end asked how many adults would be attending and then suggested they all take 2 Tylenol a half hour before arriving at the party. I kid you not!
