Why you shouldn't play tug-of-war with a two month-old telekinetic...

[x_cable]

Rachel was doing the random small-scale levitation thing she does again, and I made the mistake of trying to take the baby powder bottle away from her. She gave an almighty shriek and lo, the baby powder bottle was blowing up.

Of course, that had her howling and shrieking and not liking the white stuff that was flying everywhere. I got the nursery cleaned up, and then I gave Ms. Wanton Destruction her bath. Suffice to say she screamed all the way through that, too.

I suppose I should be glad she didn't decapitate Mr. Bunny. That could have been traumatic.

Well, hey, don't worry--sooner or later she's gonna decide that sending baby powder everywhere is fun, and then you'll be in real trouble.

Or lotion. Hoo boy, the stories my mom can tell about lotion.

You should have seen the offended little sneezes. Possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Heh. I bet. It'll be funny to watch when she starts consciously using that to get out of trouble.

Why, Mr. Madrox. You're not implying that my darling daughter, the sweet and innocent light of mine and Moira's lives, could possibly turn... manipulative on us? Are you?

Implying? No, I wouldn't say I was implying. :)

How long have I been telling you this? Nothing but trouble, that one. Don't let the innocent act fool you.

Trust me, this was completely accidental. The wails of indignation were a dead giveaway.

Hey, I'd put up a fuss too if my daddy had a chia pet growing on his face...

Are you casting aspersions on my beard? How very sad and hurtful.

Is that what that patchy thing is, Mister McScruff?

Too bad; I'm sure Cain had some fertilizer we could have smoothed on to even it out.

I'll have you know that Moira approves of the beard. At least, I hope that's what the constant giggling is about.

Erk. I'll make up a batch of some burn cream against the scruff bunny, since I'm down here, then...

You'd better be careful, Paige. First you'll be making up beard-burn cream, and then people will be asking you for other supplies, and when you ask them why, you'll be getting all kinds of information you really don't need to know...

Hey, once we're done with Haroun, I'm going to be bored to tears. At least this way I get blackmail on top of something to do.

Well, I'd have a ton of new projects, but the educational fascists say I have to go to class once the current crisis is done. And the health harpies insist that I engage in this horrible "sleep" habit from time to time.

I figure it'll take me about 15 minutes to catch up on the first three weeks, though.

See, *I* had an excuse, I was practically in a coma for three months.

Very good excuse, sir. Nothing you could do about the animal that was once trying to eat your face.

(Not eat face, to clear that up.)
