It has become abundantly clear that K-bao is not one of those laid-back, easy-come-easy-go, "happy just to see you" type of gals. No sir. First of all, she loves attention. Second, she requires lots of it. Third, she remembers if you don't give it to her and punishes you for it.
K-Pop has learned this lesson in spades because after each long week of work (during which K-Pop maybe spends 20-30 minutes a day tops with K-bao), by the time Friday rolls around, he is firmly on K-bao's S.L. No running to the door to greet Pop. No clamoring to have Daddy help her brush her teeth (her favorite activity) or read her a story. Indeed, on Friday night after K-Pop reads her her customary Bible verses, K-bao will literally wave Daddy out of the room while she nestles comfortably in K-Mum's bosom.
Saturday is a different story. K-Pop will work his tail off to get off the S.L. He will get up early to do morning duty. He will take K-bao out to the Farmer's Market and buy her a Teeny Roll or two at Acme Bread. He will show her the boats and the birdies and the pups running around in the park. Usually by early afternoon, he's off the S.L. and back on the H.L. (Hit List). Daddy likes being a hit and not a *hit. This status, however, is fleeting. He might make it to Tuesday, or Wednesday if he's lucky. From there, it's all downhill.
High maintenance girl? K-Mum agrees, though she claims it's not hereditary. (No comment, says K-Pop)
perhaps she needs a sibling to keep her in check??
