Day 17/365: Drive-by Out-law in the house

[nanila]

Sister Out-law is visiting and I just got back home from London so no time for long post today.

Sister Out-law is also very popular with the children so there was some fairly fierce competition for Auntie Kate's attention tonight. The Firehose of Cute was levelled in her direction for a couple of hours. Lucky Auntie Kate.

Awww, I am glad Auntie Kate and the kiddos are having a good time.

Just dropping in with one of my odd linguistic quirks: I don't think it should be "Out-Law." I think it should be "In-Fact," as in "we aren't related by law, but in fact we are connected as if we were related."

Nobody has to agree with me ...

They convinced her to read three Little Miss books before bedtime, and play a game in the morning before she left. And they dressed up as Owlette and Gecko (from PJ Masks) for her.

[nanila]

You may be correct. But I do find it fun to say the Out-Laws are visiting. :D

[cmcmck]

Those of us of the eccentric aunt persuasion would know this one of course! :o)

[silveradept]

Such a burden it was, clearly, on the Out-Law to have the Cute directed in such a manner. What-ever could they do about it [melodramatic hand to forehead]?

[nanila]

Hee. Yes. It's a good kind of aunt to be. :D

[nanila]

She coped admirably and with great fortitude. /solemnface

[mysterysquid]

Good way to do it...

[nanila]

Heh, it worked out pretty well for everyone. We all ended up feeling loved. :D
