Kids say the sweetest things.

We all know that kids cannot draw. This includes children who are of my clan. Today was difficult. My niece produced a piece of work in an excercise book which she wanted approval on. This happened:

Niece: Uncle Alex, I drew this....
Me: Huh....
Niece: You like it?
Me: I... er.... well... what is it?
Niece: Its you and me!
Me: Huh.... Whats it say in that bubble?
Niece: It says "I love you, uncle Alex"
Me: And this one?
Niece: It's you saying "I love you too"
Me: I.. don't remember saying that.
Niece: ....
Me: Remember we talked about telling stories?
Niece: but....
Me: Ok take it outside.... Naughty step. Think about what you've done.
Niece:
Nephew: Man....
Me: I know!
Nephew: It's a terrible picture too!
Me: Hey! Be nice! Naughty step. You too.
Nephew: Fascist!
Me: OUT!

These are hard times. We must be strong and vigilant for such a blatant disregard for elders. I'm gonna cancel their cinema trip, tomorrow. Busted!
