At the most recent playgroup session (a few days ago), Antoine gave Exie a big ol’ smooch goodbye. His parents are teaching him the traditional French custom of kisses on both cheeks. This one, however, was a long-lasting smackeroo right on the lips. Exie hasn’t quite figured out the kissing thing yet, but once in a while she makes an attempt, which usually ends up looking a bit like she’s doing a fish impression. Anyways, everybody that witnessed Antoine’s goodbye smooch will certainly testify that it was very cute.
But today in the park, after he did it again, Exie put her fingers from both hands together and said the word that goes with that sign: “more!” Antoine seemed more than happy to oblige. Hmm… perhaps this is going too far. Maybe I should sit little Frenchy down and give him a good talking-to. Next time that hoodlum and his mother show up at our door, I’ll simply stand in the background looking very tall and angry with my arms folded.
no more smooching for you!
