Stolen

My cousin and his wife and two kids are in Perth so we decided to catch up over dinner. His kids are fantastic, super friendly, fun and cute.

My brother has a strange fondness for squishing people's faces. I don't quite understand why, maybe it's to feel how chubby their cheeks are and to see how round someone's eyes can get when you mould their face with your palms.

Ten minutes hadn't passed when my brother asked my cousin's 3 year old daughter 'Little A' if he could squish her face. She complied, although I think she didn't quite understand what my brother was asking her.

It was cute seeing her cheeks being squished and she seemed to like this new game. So much so that she asked my brother if she could do it to him. How could he refuse that innocent smile and those big brown eyes?! So he bent down to her level and let her little outstretched hands squish his face.

As Little A's hands were squishing my brother's face she took a step forward to close the gap between them and with a chuckle she added her own spin to the game. Her head moved forward and knocked into his. My brother froze in surprise and shock. She squealed with laughter and joy at his surprise. This cheeky 3 year old just stole a smoo.

I love kids - they do and say the funniest things.
