The Cute! It Burns!

My youngest nephew is two and a half today. #theyallgrowupsofast

Anyway, I saw Bro, SiL and nephews on Sunday... and the littl'un was being a right bugger about eating his tea... full blown tantrums, screaming, the whole enchilada. Um... I've never used the phrase 'the whole enchilada' before in my life, and hopefully I never will again.

Anyway, in the midst of all this angst and demon-like behaviour, at one point he suddenly fixes me with an earnest look and says "Thank you for coming". Not prompted or anything.

SO. FUCKING. CUTE.

And then, later on (or possibly shortly before), again amidst the chaos of teatime... same earnest look, and "Socks is our cat, you must be gentle with him". Well, that wasn't exactly what he said, but that's my translation from two-and-a-half-year-old to grown-up. He said it several times, with SUCH a serious look on his face.

BLESS.

family, nephew
