Anindiya

Don't let the angelic face and name fool you; she is my most formidable adversary. You'd think warning her "Kick me again and I will sit on you" would be sufficient, but sometimes you've just got to do the actual sitting before a kid takes you seriously. And then they sit on the landing and wail (not cry--wail) for twenty minutes while people walk around them, unfazed by the lack of interest. Couple that with the fact that she usually takes about eleven weeks to start speaking to me and it's pretty clear that we have some issues.

That said, she's adorable.
