Kissing 101

Yes, yes. Rather scandalous title for a nanny I know. But then, one never can know what will happen when one steps forth boldly from one's homeland and journeys to a far country of strange customs only outdone by the strangeness of the natives themselves. Such a doubtful enterprise is not to be undertaken warily but with confidence in ignorance and spunk in quiverings. Yes, well, I do believe I digress.

What I am endevoring to say is that this nanny has developed extremely poor cheek circulation (due undoubtedly to the severe southern climate) and must be treated several times a day with a strong supplement of kissing. Thus my young charges have stepped forward heroically offering up their sweet lips in service to the cause of my poorly cheeks. All (well, most anyway) of the above is of course, ridiculous nonsense. I must be honest. I do not have poor cheek circulation, and if I did I must have been cured weeks ago for all the kissing I'm getting. Its really rather interesting--the sillies think they should try to get in ten kisses on whichever of my cheeks is most convenient at the time before I have succeeded in kissing their rosy roundnesses an equal amount of times. All utter sillyness really. As it should be.

By the way: has anyone ever heard the expression, "Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy?" Thomas says it. Oh yes, and Thomas feels it necessary to add an "ee" sound at the end of most of his most important of words. Thus it is "Miss Rebekie, did you fix my beddy?" And, "Calvie! You stepped on my toesies!" Etc, etc. :)

I'll tell you all about South Carolina soon--patience!
