scary

i don’t have teeth, so i can’t bite…i can crawl fast, but can only get so high off the ground.  i am certainly loud, but still just a baby.  i just do not get it.  why is my big brother frightened of me?  he does like to hold me often; he likes to sit next to me and play; he likes to watch me and see what i am up to.  however, whenever i initiate any of those things, he shrinks back as if i am about to gobble him up.  there is no need for this type of reaction…by no means do i intend any ill will or harm to jack; i am simply fascinated by him and always want a closer look.

now granted, it might not be me.  he was given this treatment back when he was my age by zeus.  zeus was only interested in jack on his own terms.  jack could not approach zeus, only the other way around.  the other point of fact is that every so often when momma or dad go in jack’s room to get him up from bed, he says that he was/is scared.  when pressed as to what might have scared him, he once said a dog in the window.  a dog, in the shaded and curtained window of his second floor bedroom.  clearly jack has an active imagination.

so i will not let it get me down.  i know that we will be thick as thieves one day (and the next probably at one another’s throats).  but i look forward to the days when we can play together and have loads of fun just like jack has with nate.
