The one thing that endears me about this dog I'm babysitting, and I know it sounds mean but I think it's rather sweet is that she hates little children!
She brings forth a canine snark over her face when kids come petting her calling out her name in their soft cooing voices and this dog snaps her jaw to warn them that their little fingers will be next.
I love it! It warms the cockles of my cold heart to see kids immediately retracting.
What an odd thing to be writing about first thing in the morning one would say but I write this because a bevy of self invited gang of kids is soon going to be swarming over my house and they start bothering my pets by hauling them up, massaging them, pulling at their tales and mustaches and their small sizes makes it convenient for them to follow both the dog and cat under tables and beds and this constant annoyance of human to animals causes my darlings to lash out in harmless but threatening ways.
It's difficult to keep half a dozen kids busy with something because they're so bloody fickle and easily distracted and honestly my animals hate them.
The cat stays perched atop a shelf or similar such where he can't be found and the dog bares her teeth when the small pair of hands petting her multiply into three then four because there's only so much someone can take.
Talking of kids inviting themselves, I mean I love the little things and all but dude, ringing my bell every alternate day to ask whether I'll be free the next day so that they can play monopoly, Jenga, uno, Chinese checkers is a bit much, because every now and then is fine but having them over thrice a week makes me want to pop sanity pills.
Like I'm almost four times their age and I have lots of work, one can't possibly think that I'd always be excited to have them over, and the thing is that because I often refuse, telling them the truth about being busy almost every day, it saddens me to see their dejected faces and I relent, shoving my work to a later time to make some space in my routine for a bunch of little things to wreak havoc over my house and that too when all these little ones are exceptionally well mannered.
Saying their thank you's and welcome's and throwing trash in the bin and never screaming, using the bathroom cleanly and not thrown things about, but even so, little children are not known to be quiet and when they're a couple handfuls they bring the house down.
Right, I gotta make some pancake batter because there will come a time when everyone will start feeling hungry and that'd mean its pancake time.
I like making pancake batter much in advance. Gives the pancakes suck a thick, squidgy and fluffy texture. Perfectly rounded and deliciously browned; though I have almost zero love for pancakes.
Never liked them.
You know i write things as I keep thinking them.
It's like sitting in front of a camera and talking whatever comes to mind, ditto for this space in written words that is.
You know I was wondering about that sudden breakout on the skin and I wondered if it's not on account of taking biotin supplements. Hopefully it's gotten better now..
Right then, onwards to a glass of tea.
