A Visit from Amy's Family

[Guest guest]

On Saturday, Amy H's family came over. Amy has been working long hours and I

haven't seen her for ages (but at least they are solvent...) so it was nice.

Lou had taken Putter and Robbie out which, since Kepler and Putter just ignore

each other, I decided was fine.

Sophie and Bethany immediately took off to garb themselves in many different

costumes and then dance for Amy and I.

Cameron sat and talked with Amy and I and then went off in search of better

entertainment. He found Enrique's Pokemon Sapphire game and started a new file

on it and began playing. This made Enrique very very anxious at first. He

said, nervously, " Don't save, okay? " But every time I left the room, he kept

hissing at me " When are they going? What if he overwrites my file? "

I didn't think it was likely. The game prompts you twice. First it asks if you

want to save and secondly it tells you that there is already a file and do you

really want to overwrite it. Cameron would have to be very careless to

overwrite Enrique's file. Finally after Amy as well as I mentioned this to

Cameron, who had never intended to save in the first place, Enrique felt safe

enough and settled down.

While all this was going on, Kepler was investigating my children's movies. He

kept running in to Amy and asking her if he could watch one of the movies and,

then, apparently just watching the previews for other movies at the beginning

for he would return rather quickly with another movie. Amy was growing a bit

tired of the endless movie shifts. At one point Kepler called her to come with

him, " C'mon! " he said. " What? " asked Amy. " C'mon " repeated Kepler, and again

Amy asked him, " What? " Kepler seemed to sense that something more was needed,

and in that sing-song voice that I hear Putter use on phrases he has learned by

rote, Kepler said, " I want 'C'mon' please! "

Would I be correct in thinking that Kepler is doing better these days?
