to read

i have two stories to read when i get home. to, you know, see if they are good. one is tiranog's sequel to 'a nick in time'--growing pains. the other is f/k. a fine romance by sihaya black and chickwriter.

the thing about tigger

also, when i get home, i need to find a good image of classic!tigger and roo.

perrin's nickname is 'roo' because when he was an infant, jenny carried him in a very nice woven slingy pouchy thing on her belly.

'i guess that makes me tigger,' i said.

'what?' she said. 'tigger? why?'

i looked at her strangely. 'tigger lives with kanga and roo because roo really likes him--he became great friends with roo right away and kanga invited him to live with them, and he plays with roo and helps take care of him... sort of like an au pair... .'

'oh!' said jenny. 'i didn't remember that. i guess you ARE like tigger.'

(for those what don't know--she invited me to visit the first time after daddy's accident because she came to visit with just perrin. he was only like two at the time and had NEVER been left in a stranger--that is, out of her or taum's prescence. and he was extremely clingy. he screamed up a storm with my mom and with my aunt valerie when jenny went to see dad--no babies were allowed in the icu. but for some reason he liked me. he played happily with me for several hours several days in a row. she was quite impressed.)
