Note to self: Do not post fic on Fridays.

So, for those who might have missed it, I posted Chapter 11 of My Immortal. (It's the TGiQ one.)

I'm *sure* I had other things to say, but I'm being driven slowly insane by The Cherub who, as all 3 year olds, cannot go for more than around 30 seconds without saying "Mum!" and demanding my attention NOW.

*counts slowly to ten*

(And then, just as I was about to hit 'post' the phone rang...)

The Cherub has now barricaded herself in her bedroom, because she has found the tin of leftover chocolate from Easter, and knows that I'm going to take it off her. *takes deep breath and goes to deal with a very un-angelic girl*

(Her parting shot: "You are NOT ALLOWED IN MY ROOM, and you are NOT ALLOWED MY TIN, and you are a NAUGHTY GIRL!" Nothing on the planet can be as indignant as a small child.)

ETA: She's calmed down a little, and I discovered that one of the best cures for grumpiness is watching the White House Correspondent's Dinner, even though I keep having to pause it. We can has Obama, plz? *laughs and laughs*

Oh, dear. *pets you* (Although I think I'd be hard pressed to keep from laughing at that parting shot.)

And I swear that my cat somehow learned that toddler's trick. There are days when all she does is follow me around meowing, and it sounds exactly like, "Mom!Mom!Mom!Mom!"

Heh! Not so much of a cherub, then. More of an imp.

Although I think I'd be hard pressed to keep from laughing at that parting shot.
Oh I chuckled too. Partly because it was actually A LOT longer (she likes repetition). Anyway, I have been EVIL MUM and retrieved the tin, and even gave her some chocolate (I don't mind, I just don't want her to eat herself sick) - she looked at it and went "I DON'T LIKE THAT CHOCOLATE!" (This is especially amusing since all the chocolate is exactly the same.) KIDS! Who'd want them? (She's adorable most of the time though. Honest.)

And I swear that my cat somehow learned that toddler's trick.
My cat's the same, although he tends to say "Feedmefeedmefeedmefeedme!" until he gets what he wants.

Well I *have* an Impish Girl already... *ponders* The Cherub should be renamed 'Miss Determination' - she has a will of iron.

Miss Demeanour?

can't spell, btw. Not sure that's right.

Heee! That's *brilliant*! (And it's one of those horribly tricky words that I can't spell either. Thank goodness for betas, huh?)

Hm...perhaps you were tempting fate when you called her The Cherub *g*.

Hee. You naughty girl! It sounds as if the Cherub could have a good battle of wills with Chicklet. Chicklet knows her own mind VERY well and does not appreciate anyone interfering.

We tossed all her left over Easter candy when we were in Florida (Jay did it before he left) because the child just doesn't need that much! And neither did I. *g*

Possibly. Although cherubs are supposed to be mischievous, aren't they?

Chicklet knows her own mind VERY well and does not appreciate anyone interfering.
Sounds very familiar. *g*

the child just doesn't need that much! And neither did I. *g*
I've been doling it out in small increments (hence the fact that there's still some left), since I hate throwing food away - even if it isn't food at all...

No you cannot have our President LOL....it took us TOOOOOO long to get him ourselves!

Love the indignation of your cherub!

*hugs*

OMG ICON!!!!!!!

*DIES*

(And it's OK, our politicians are incompetent, but not actually evil... *g*)

My Cherub is the very spirit of indignation. Must post pictures soon. :)

Heh-- as my mother would say parenthood isn't for whimps!

I missed the update too; thanks for the reminder! :: to read::

That is very, very true! Also you need infinite patience...

OMG ICON!!!!!!!
Yeah, THE ICON!!!

Elisi - but have you heard the story behind it? It was a headline of the day couple of days ago: "Right-wing conservatives attack Obama for putting mustard on his burger". After he and Biden went to get some burgers for lunch.
Unbelievable. Comparing to that, your Cherub with her chocolates is the model of reason and rationality. :)

Elisi - but have you heard the story behind it?
Well I knew that he and Biden had had burgers (on my flist there were pictures & squeeing), but the headline? No, that was new. Still - nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to the GOP!
