When Mark and I would try to get the baby to smile we did it with sing song voices and smiles of our own.
When Violet did it, she sounded like she was trying to shake a kid down for her lunch money.
While we were getting ready to go, Violet decided to cheer up her sister when she was starting to get fussy in the car seat. All I heard was “ Lily…where are my smiles? Where are my smiles, LILY? GIVE ME THOSE SMILES. LILY. I WANT THEM.”
Apparently she needs to learn the subtle distinction between lighthearted fun and total menace.
