Uncle Pete: You are a cutiepie!

The ACN smiles.

Uncle Pete: Is Uncle Pete a cutiepie?

The ACN: Yeeeah.

Beat.

Uncle Pete: Are you just saying that because I am making your breakfast?

The ACN: Yeah!

Uncle Pete: Grrrrrrrr.

The ACN busts out in hysterical laughter.


*****

For those who have been following the saga...

Despite the many hours I spent writing it for her, and the many hours my cartoonist buddy spent illustrating it, she still won't let me read "Molly Moose" to her!

I ask her at story time.

She shakes her head "No."

I make a sad face.

She giggles and giggles.

My sister says, "If it's any consolation, she won't let me read it to her at home either."

Then SHE cracks up laughing.

The ACN has decided that I am a teddy bear today.
