It's a balmy Friday afternoon. Its ice-cream day. It's just what we do now, the walk up the hill is slow with four kids but it makes the ice cream taste all the better...
Miss H, A young twenty-something year old, hip kindy teacher is also at the famous inner city ice-cream shop. She is fun, gorgeous and embracing and loves not only Miss Seven but her siblings also. She spots our little gaggle and sidles up to master Four on the vinyl bench seat. She asks him what flavour he is having and then when he replies chocolate, inquires whether it is yummy. Without warning he in an declaration of affection lunges his pre-licked and rapidly melting scoop toward her mouth suggesting she 'try it?' Taken aback Miss H forfeits the offer purely by hesitation and Master 4 gives her a look of absolute disdain. I would be pressed to think of another incident that has left him looking so discombobulated.
I have always suspected that Master 4 feels quite affectionately toward Miss H but this confirms this notion (a Four year old does not share ice cream with just anyone) as well as a knowing that she will no longer be at the top of any list after this rejection.
Such a grown up disappointment for my little man.
