Sophie is extremely excited that her uncle is going to be joining us on vacation.  Because for one whole week, she will be able to torture him, as only a six-year can do.  She has all sorts of fun up her sleeves.

Consider yourself warned, my only sibling.  You may not emerge from your week with us in one piece. Sophie’s exclamation earlier today, after she remembered that she was going to be seeing her uncle in just a few days:   “Oooh!  I can’t wait to see Uncle James.  I’m going to bug him!  I’m going to poke, poke, poke him!”

How does one prepare for such an onslaught?  Drugs, my dear brother, drugs.
