Lovers' Quarrel

Max and Julia have, of course, met before. Their blossoming love affair has been captured on film and brought to you on this blog as it unfolds, and it has been a beautiful and harmonious thing. However, last night was the first time that Max and Julia have met since both have learned to crawl, and their relationship became slightly more stormy. Things started out romantically enough . . . Julia, as always, was very interested in Max, and wanted to pet his head. Max liked this at first, but then the head-petting became a little bit more like head-grabbing, and Max was in no way prepared to accept this level of affection.

Somewhat understandably, Max excused himself from the interaction, and attempted to get some space and collect himself. Julia, however, having found Max's head delightfully soft and pettable, was reluctant to let him retreat. She tried to reason with him . . .

. . . And, when reason failed to get results, opted for full-on pursuit. Max tried valiantly to escape, but was forced to face the fact that Julia, being three months older, is a much faster and more agile crawler.

Ultimately, Max decided that face-to-face combat would be both manlier and more effective. He was, of course, mistaken on both fronts. Julia proved to be the more determined and steely-nerved of the two.

There were some tears (mainly from Max), and some yelling (mainly from Julia when Max's head was taken from her, along with the rest of him), but I think that in the end, Max and Julia will find their relationship strengthened by this little setback. If nothing else, it will encourage Max to practice his crawling skills more vigorously, now that he knows the price of slacking off.
