New Kid on the Block

I have to have a rant. **Skip to bottom if you just want to find out how the kids are.

As I have written before, the kids in the street come to visit Yu You sometimes. Initially they tried to visit during working hours but after we said no a couple of times they stopped. However, there is a new girl now. Little blonde girl with a little blonde name and generally dressed in pink.

She first came to our door on Monday with Hannah and Beth from next door and it was just after dinner so we let them in to play with Boomer and Yu You. I knew I didn't like her when she started talking and just wouldn't stop! "Animals like me, a cat bited (she said it like this) me, why does she do that, i haven't seen big oranges before". I described it to Daniel as Vicky Pollard without swearing. Verbal diarrhea.

Yesterday she came over twice - I only let her in once when she was with Beth and it was nearly lunchtime anyway. She puts me on edge as she doesn't listen when I say that Boomer doesn't want to be picked up or don't hold Yu You like that. She just continues to tell me how "Animal like me". Gah!!

Today she came round twice by herself but both times I told her no as I was busy. She whined a bit about how she was going away Saturday but I became the wicked with of the East (Kilbride) and refused still. Pink doesn't sway me! Hah!

It also concerns me that if something happens to this little girl in my house e.e. she trips over or a pet bites her, then I'd be blamed despite not inviting her over in the first place. My new rule is that if I don't know who their parents are I don't let them in by themselves!

I later came home from badminton to find she had brought her brother round when Daniel got in and did get to play with them after all. Daniel now shares my dislike. I can't wait for term to start!

**Boomer is surprisingly sociable with kids who come to play with her. She doesn't just hide under the sofa much to Yu You's disappointment! She's not used to sharing the limelight!

Boomer was very well behaved when she was held by Hannah and Beth. I tried not to let the pink girl hold her but eventually had to just to shut her up. Sorry, I know I said I wouldn't rant here but it just demonstrates how patient Boomer is not to have "bited" her!!
