No brain for haiku, sorry. But hey, at least it's an AI.always_k_i_t_tOctober 11 2009, 21:13:39 UTC
Kitt looked up from his book to see Bob and Mairi. It brought a smile to his face - more of a smile than he'd had before, anyway. It was nice to see that things were going well.
He lifted a hand to wave, whether they saw or not. It would be some kind of acknowledgement that they'd been seen either way. If he'd felt a little better, he would've gotten up to say hi.
She got a wide smile and another finger-waggling wave as Kitt mouthed at her, "Hi! Hi there!" just like a parent long-used to such things. The game of entertain-the-baby was well known by now.
Kitt gave him a smile as well, then held up the book - What To Expect On A Cruise Around The World. "I've got a long vacation coming up, whether I want it or not. ...And honestly, I think I want it for once.
"I hadn't known, but that's wonderful! Send along my congratulations!" Kids. He'd had to get used to the idea, but now, kids were the best thing in the world to him.
"She probably didn't have a habit of flying up into the light fixtures and getting stuck there," says Bob wryly. "We're trying to teach her to only fly when she's in a harness, but..."
"...I'm suddenly glad that my own troubles with my children didn't involve flying. Just that one of them really had to wear clothes, and that another wasn't supposed to eat the sandbox, and that another isn't allowed to ... well. That's a subject better covered another time." He smiled a bit sheepishly.
"Oh heavens, no," Kitt blurted, laughing. "She wanted to see what the sand tasted like, that's all. And while I'm sure Michael would've let her if it was clean sand, I happen to know that humans, or humanoids, don't have gizzards."
"Brigid was curious." Kitt chuckled. "And... well, they've only now started to offer foods that are both interesting and healthy for children. ...At least we introduced her to produce from the garden early. If you ever happen to want cucumber, let me know - we always end up with more than we want."

"I wish I'd had practice." He laughed gently, smiling at Mairi. "I still remember Brigid being that age..."
