Little Ari: *typing* (slowly)
Me: Hi Little Ari.
Little Ari: What is it? Can't you see I'm in the middle of a blog post?
Me: Well actually, I wanted to give you something.
Little Ari: Oh?
Little Ari: *ecstatic* HONEY-CHAN!
Me: Uh... Actually, I thought she looked more like a "Heidi". But sure, Honey works too.
Little Ari: *incoherent cooing noises* Aww, and her eyes move...
Me: Oh! And I got you something else, too.
Little Ari: You did?
Me: Yeah. I just ordered you an MSD sized Macbook. It should be here by the end of the week.
Little Ari: *even more ecstatic* Uwaaaaa! Awesome! That'll be perfect for blogging! Your Macbook's keys are too big. It takes me an hour to make just one post...
Me: Yeah, I thought you'd like that.
Little Ari: Hey, wait a minute. You're being awfully nice to me...
Me: *eye twitch* I'm always nice to you.
Little Ari: Yeah, but I mean, like, really going out of your way to make me happy. What's going on?
Me: Uh... um... I just thought it might lessen the blow.
Little Ari: ...Of...?
Me: Well, you're going to be meeting Gilan in a few days, when we go to Connecticut for the Renaissance Faire. He's coming home with us...
Little Ari: *melodramatic* You... you're replacing me? After all we've been through? You're bringing in a strange doll? A boy doll!? And letting him sit on my desk? How... how could you!? *continues to whine*
Me: *under breath* Well, it's my desk, actually. But I guess no one seems to be counting...
*To be continued*
Post Script: Little Ari did finally manage to calm down after about an hour. Presently, she's having fun making Honey's eyes open and close. She seems to have completely forgotten about the mini Macbook, Gilan and, oddly enough, her blog post about which she had originally chided me for interrupting...
