I Didn't Make My Cousin Scream!

I spent the first part of the weekend in Sioux Falls as we prepare to get classes going for the upcoming fall soccer seasons. I had to attend a mandatory annual meeting this morning. Usually, we go to Omaha for this meeting, but instead this year, they offered it via video conference, and we could stay in Sioux Falls. Well, that's a good thing because I'd have been angry if I'd have driven to Omaha to waste those three hours, plus the 5 hours we'd have spent traveling. Instead, only wasted a little time, but the whole trip wasn't a waste at all.

On Friday night, I braved the snow and went down to Sioux Falls to have supper with a friend. So, we are sitting at the restaurant enjoying supper, and finished our meal, when the little girl, who was about two years old, turned around in her chair, and started smiling and waving at us. And she just kept doing it, and doing it, and doing it, for several minutes, so we smiled and laughed a bit, and so would she! Her mom heard her laugh, and then turned to see what she was doing and that she had the attention of the two guys in the booth across the isle, and she just smiled, and then said to us, "Ohh, just so you know, she'll flirt with you all night long." And the rest of the time, she did, but we didn't care, and neither did her parents, so it was just a fun time. These kids sure learn young though.

That wasn't the last time that would happen over the weekend though. I went to cousin Linz's house to see her little girl, and get some quality playing time in. Well, she was alseep when i arrived, so I took one for the team and napped too. She wakes up making faces at me across the room. If you'll remember the last time I saw her, it was in the Sioux Falls Mall, when she got pushed up in her stroller, and I knelt down to talk with her, and she started screaming immediately. This time though, what a change of heart.
