Love & Kisses

Talk about the power of positive thinking: Siena is absolutely convinced that any bodily injury can be totally cured by a kiss from Daddy on the affected area.

She'll trip and fall, or get her fingers caught in a cabinet door, or some other brilliant move, and amidst her hysterical histrionics (SAT prep never leaves you) she'll race to Daddy screaming "Kithit! Kithit!" So Daddy will give a little kiss to the affected area, and Siena will actually stop crying then and there.

Even funnier is that if Daddy misses the injured area--which is easy to do, since she never gets visibly injured--Siena will hasten to point out the correct place to operate, and Daddy will have to give another kiss.

Strangely enough, Daddy does not find that kissing his own injuries makes them go away. Must have something to do with the fact that you can't tickle yourself.

I know what you're thinking: nothing on ND/USC? There will be a blog about Siena and the latest Game of the Century. But right now it's just too painful to talk about.
