pleasant afternoon

had my neice over for a couple hours this afternoon with Inga, she's a surprisingly pleasant child to be around.  And, as i always say, she's so smart.  She just blows me away with how brilliant & incredibly intillectually curious she is.  Today she sat down at the table across from me and was petting our cat Sink, and she turns to me and asks 'where's the new kitty?' and i tell her morpheus went back outside.  She then says 'two outside?' and i'm just astounded, 'thats right cassidy, very good.  i have three kitties, and one is inside and two are outside.  you're so smart'.  positive renforcement of this sort of behavior is VITAL! she's gonna be so smart when she gets older :) (she's SMART now :D).  And NO her dad is NOT sending her out to bum fuck no where middle america to visit baby mama, if she wants to see the kid she can come here.  what are we stupid? you want us to send her to you so you can undo the potty training and the reading and the math? fuck you bitch :P if you REALLY want to see her YOU will make the effort and COME SEE HER (not vice versa...because, and this is true, the kid REALLY doesn't miss you...which is kind of sad but i feel NO sympathy for the bitch, she's just like my mother on a lot of levels and is absolutely useless as a human being). 
All in all it was a very enjoyable afternoon with the kid over, she was trying to wrestle me while i was sitting on the floor, once she warms up to me when she comes over she loves to come give me hugs and sit in my lap and talk to me.  She's a good kid and i LOATHE her mother for ignoring this AMAZING INCREDIBLE little person...i DON"T understand how people like that can IGNORE and look RIGHT PAST this incredible GIFT they've been given (and this is coming from someone who doesn't like kids)...i just don't get it.
We get along really well because she reminds me a lot of me at that age, lot of the same mannerisms, same sort of abandoment issues & similar emotional baggage.  She was having a shy day when she first arrived and inga told her she was being silly because she was all excited to be coming over.  She seemed to have a good time while she was here.  She's generally really well behaved and between inga & i she's VERY easy to keep an eye on.  Gave her hugs when she was heading out and told her i'll see her next week hopefully.  Its nice to know she likes me :)
