Reason # 625,432,978 Why Maggie Is Charming

When Maggie is tired, and she wants to be put to bed, she never says that she wants to go to bed, or that she wants to go night nights, or whatever. She always, always says that she wants to "play night nights". This delights me, that she thinks of going to sleep as yet another game. And then, if you don't take the hint fast enough, she adds, "in bed!" and points. And if you still don't hustle enough to suit her, she will punch you in the knees until you take her to bed. Living with Maggie is a lot like living with a somewhat bossy, extremely violent fraggle. I love her all the way to the stars and back.

I've almost completely stopped punching people in the knees, and I have too much hair to be fraggle-ish, so I don't think that's fair.

Anyone who knows me, knows this is so out of character, but i can be a bit bossy at times too. I don't however, punch knees, but i DO have a certain look that apparantly gets the point across. Sometimes things just have to be pushed along the way you need them too, and so if that means punching knees...well so be it.

I think you are referring to the "Fry" look. And, yes...Maggie has that one down.

I'm so excited that Maggie inherited something from me :)
