the in between phase

so..

just last night ray was telling me that if he were to visit my lil cousins 'next time'
whenever that is, they'd be too old
and i argued with him that they'd never be too old
and even when they get older
you just modify the conversation, and yeah
his argument was that before i knew it,
they'd be having boy and girl problems
and id hate coming over my aunts house then

see, i can handle boy/girl problems
im even excited to give em advice eventually if they ask


but little did i know--or at least
i completely didn't realize

that 'in the middle gap'
between kid stuff
and boy/girl stuff

....
which happens to be

the violent stuff.

today,

wrestling

was introduced into play time

...you have NO idea

how hilarious it is

to look up

and see adorable little ming ming

with her helpless lil squeal/scream

as she struggles to get out

while her older brother

. . .

headlocks her face into his armpit

**dies*

ohmgsh

xD

and then he went for andrew right after

ahahaha

that was funny too

andrew's adorable

before that, i was wrestling/having an all out fight

with like...ALL of his stuffed animals

it started with him trying to say hi to me with his whale

and he made it make a cute lil squeal-like hello sound

while he made it snuggled up to my shoulder

...and i grabbed it (the whale) by the throat

threw it down

and elbowed downwards onto its face

before turning around to sit on it

(Andrew's comment on what I was supposed to be yelling as I threw the whale down: WHAT?!)

so then he tried to throw the little whale at me to distract me

eventually Freezy (lil snowman plushie) was on my head

and at some point i was 'headbutted' by a pink snowball looking bunny

but even then i didnt let shuka (the whale) go

and then he disappears for a second (my lil cousin)

and returns with a gigantamous stuffed bear

(i was laying on the ground by now)

and drops it into a body slam onto my face

and i was like

dgkjlhfjlnjfkhguijh

AAAGGHH ANDREWWW--MINGGMIINGG SAVE MEEE

and thats where we left off--

with them being armpit headlocked by their older brother >>

eventually i challenged him to a belly button draw

where we rock paper scissored to see who would go first

and we each had three turns to do that one game on each other

where you try to find the other person's belly button with one poke

we did three paces and DRAW and everything

but we both missed every time

it was too funny anyway though

eventually i gave him back the whale

and armpit headlocked him myself <3 align="left">to avenge his little siblings

when he tried to retaliate ming ming yells
"hurry! lets go to the kitchen!

he cant use violence if we're around grown ups!"

and andrew and i cheered

"to the grown ups!"

and we ran downstairs to the kitchen

we lost andrew along the way

but we couldnt risk it

and left him behind

<<

he's a big kid

but anyway!

our mutual suffering made us a team

and ming ming later called a team meeting in her parents room

so we all put our hands in

...and kept it there the whole team meeting

the discussion topic was, as decided by ming ming

"lets talk about something random. Ate Hannah, you go first"

"Uh. My friend told me if you uppercut a tiger you can shoot fireballs from your fist. But what if you uppercut a man in a tiger suit? Do you just get really really hot hands? **Serious face.*"

kids: ". . ."

ming ming: "Okay, my turn."

ming ming: "So I asked my dad which vampire looked better. Robert Pattinson or Stephen Moyer. And he said--Robert Pattinson was too pale. So it looked more like he had constipation."

". . .I see."

". . .**still just as polite and sweet as ever--but hilariously distraught* Ate Hannah--could you please stop?!?! T_T"

<3>

Oh yeah--then I had to break it to them after that that I had recent news from the top

(their mom)

That wrestling or any form of physical violence was from then on forbidden

Unless it was on a bear

Andrew: "What about a lion?"

...Or a lion

Ming ming: "What about a baby lion cub?"

Well...you'd have to answer to its mother right after if you did

Ming ming: " What about pillows?"

Pillows never did anything to you, Ming.

Ming ming: "They..they teased me?"

...Pillows dont talk. Omgsgh. Ming ming.

. . .

You're...You're crazy aren't you?!

..You..

You're crazy!

"Aahh! Wait! No Im not!"

**Proper tickling punishment ensues.*

Mmkay

Thats all for now I guess.

Oh yeah <3.

And I taught them the Hadouken

>> **Cough*

Their mom didn't specify any rules against that?
