This is what I do to children. Not all children, mostly just the small ones.
This reaction sometimes makes me wonder if I really am ready to have my own children.
I think my family and friends have built me up too much with,
"You are sooo good with kids!"
and
"Kids love you!"
I think what we may have failed to realize is that I am good with kids who can talk and express themselves.
Really good.
There I go tooting my own horn again.
Toot! Toot!
But then a child like Lucy brings me back to reality.
She wasn't having any of this big Auntie Carlei hug.
Some of my other nieces also feel this way.
Unless I have some kind of treat they want.
So...
I'm going to start carrying treats around with me just in case I run into any small children I need to bribe.
That's how I won Bay and Josey over.
