Favoritism

In an effort to prepare K-bao for her impending big-sisterhood and to introduce her to a world where there is more than one center of attention, Little Aunt Christina (Xiao Ah-Yi) recently gave K-bao a second baby doll, identical in all ways to her first one except for her newer clothes and bright blue eyes.

K-bao promptly named the second doll Baby #2, and renamed her first baby Baby #1. Furthermore, while she welcomed Baby #2 into her crib, she pointedly favored Baby #1, including only giving a blanket to Baby #1 (while letting Baby #2 shiver), only taking Baby #1 on road trips, and only showering Baby #1 with kisses and hugs.

As if we weren't getting the message loudly and clearly that the firstborn deserves special, favored treatment, she recently loudly declared: "I love Baby #1. I do not love Baby #2." Rendering the K-folks speechless - and much afraid of all that will come in a few months time.
