We went out shopping for presents for Corwin’s birthday. Charles used his Big Blue Eyes on Mom to get her to go to a book store and Toys ‘R Us. He wanted to get a book but I unfortunately teased him by saying that he might not get something at Toys ‘R Us as well. He immediately put the book back and would not be persuaded to keep it. Although, Charles was paying for them so perhaps he was actually taking his reduced financials in to account.
Alice got to Mom and made her buy a “dancing companion” doll, which is cloth doll about 3 feet tall. Alice was pondering a name so, being a helpful Dad, I suggested a few. My favorite was “Zarpox, Destroyer of Worlds” but Charles liked “Vextron the Annihilator”. Eventually we settled on “Vextron, Eternal Flame of Burning Torment” although frankly I kind of wanted that for myself. Alice tried to name the doll “Eleena” or sometimes “Rosie” but Charles and I were much louder.
