A tiny toddler wobbled over to them and extended her arms to Lorenzo. He picked her up, and kissed her on the nose. She giggled and pushed his face away.
Lorenzo: Hey Mia! I hope you didn't cause too much trouble here.
Mia: Heheh, I wouldn't be so sure...
Lorenzo: What did you do..?
Mia: Oh, you know, just... I guess I... Well, I thought I could help out, but...
Lorenzo: Mia...
Mia: Okay... I tried to carry the lasagna to the table, but I... dropped it, and it slid across the floor, losing each layer the farther it went. I was really sorry! I didn't mean to do it, I promise! Please don't be mad at me!!!
Lorenzo: Ah, I really do love lasagna...
Mia: Please, please, PLEASE don't be mad!!
The toddler looked at him with giant, pleading eyes, and stuck out her bottom lip. Lorenzo laughed.
Lorenzo: I'm just kidding. Of course I can't be mad at you. You're my favorite niece after all!
She smiled, and ran down the apartment, yelling out random, uninterpretable sounds. Lorenzo crossed his arms, and looked over at Kaitlynn.
Lorenzo: See? I make all the girls go crazy.
Kaitlynn: Heh, don't get too cocky. It'll take you a LOOONG time to get through to me, sweetie.
