''No fair!" My four year old had folded her arms, and poked her lips out in a pout. I kneel in front of her.
''Honey, we'll be back in two hours. '' I assured, kissing her cheek. ''Hurry, go get her a cookie!" I softly command, as my adorable five year old son Avery, runs off into the house of his god mother's.
''But, I want bike.'' Aiken says, pointing to a smiling Terry, awaiting me on his motorcycle.
''I know, I know, but you're just not old enough.'' Her head falls, as she turns away from me. ''Aiken baby, I promise to get you a bike when you're old enough, okay?''

''And to think, I thought you were bluffing.'' I whispered, though he couldn't possibly hear me over the loud wisping winds or roar of the engine.
''No. I'm not a bluff.'' He yelled, miraculously responding to my whisper.
Indeed, you aren't.
