House of Helton Day 1: Oh So THAT is a Doggy

The next day was the end of the Little Family Reunion, which I am positive was a sarcastic term, and we were again in the car for a ridiculous amount of time, only stopping for eating. But it was all okay when we arrived at my aunt and uncle's house. I have mentioned before that people have referenced an animal known as a dog to me, either in calling my teething rings chew toys, or in how I lap up my food from a spoon. Now I finally met these animals. From what I could tell, they were just toddlers in other forms. Yes, they were more hairy and more likely to lick me, but they seemed just as rambunctious and ecstatic to be, as my mother said before about the children, "All up in my business." Their names were Mattie and Lucy, and they loved to lick my fingers and my face. I would just laugh politely, as I knew that they meant well and just did not know the proper means by which they should show their Benevolent Monarch their love.

I closed my eyes, praying that I was the only thing that tongue had ever licked.

Cari and James were much more appropriate, snuggling me and arguing over who I loved more.
