Sparkling told me the other day how she got told on by Princess J, all of nearly two years of age. So there is Sparkling in her car waiting on Rock Chick to come out of work to give her a lift and little Princess J is strapped in her chair in the back seat. So Rocks asks the usual question "how was your day?" to which Princess J actually answers, and says:
"Princess on TV and Gaga say No. "
To which both Rock and Sparkling laugh, because Sparkling has now been grassed up by her grand daughter who. Little Princess J was trying to watch a program on TV about Princesses and it was time to leave the house and pick up Rock. Sparkling said "no" and said it a number of times, turned the TV off and headed for the car. Now Sparkling tells me she has a set routine as well for taking Princess J out in the car. She first put's Princess J in the driver's seat, where she stands on the seat and pretends she is driving the car with her hands on the wheel. She absolutely loves this. While she is laughing at this fun game Sparkling then has time to load up the car with whatever needs to be put into it. She gives Princess J a few minutes to enjoy her pretend driving and then straps her in the back seat. It is so funny when I think of the cheeky little girl who just about can see over the driving wheel when she is standing up. She is so full of energy and so funny because she is an expressive little girl. Her emotions and thoughts can not be hidden, what she feels she shows and you can't help but love her in everything she does. She is a ray of sunshine.
When talking about Princess J's character both I and Sparkling agree it is as though she has taken two traits from her parents. How she has inherited or learned them is unknown and it seems these are the kind of traits you would only understand if you knew both her parents. First is the quiet determination and obstinacy of Rock Chick and secondly the emotional expression of Dangerous Sports lad. With Rock she knows what she wants, she then goes and gets it in her persistent way, and with Dangerous he just cant help being expressive even if holding back his feelings would be to his advantage he just cant, sometimes he is a little girly about it. This is fine because in Princess J those girlishness attitudes are OK,. unfortunately doesn't show much of her girly side, maybe it is early days. What I see is Princess J the girl who is going to lead the first all female expedition up Kilimanjaro or the South Pole. Sparkling told me once how they took Princess J to the park and let her run, well she took off and didn't turn back, they waited but still she didn't turn back. When she walks she's just goes marching off in the direction she wants to go and doesn't look back either. Maybe it's because she knows Gaga or Rock will be there chasing behind her to catch her, or maybe it's because she has her own mind. I can see here one reason why people have children, it's the entertainment factor. Of course this does not take second place to the enormous amount of love factor which comes first every single time. You just can't help loving her.
Sparkling is hoping for a job to come through shortly. This is doing a job she has done before, caring in the community. The company she will be working for seems like a really nice company as well. The ethos has come from the founder of the company who did this work herself and then grew it up to over 400 employees. She pays them well and her staff like working for her. Most jobs of this description usually pay only minimum pay and this is also true of central London. The value of work here is low, it is the job you get paid for and not how conscientious you are as an employee.
Sparkling is off tonight with her friends to see a spooky. This is Scottish for clairvoyant. It turned out the spooky was crap, she couldn't tell Sparkling there was an Englishman riding a bicycle and playing the ukulele in her life. Oh well, she can't be that spooky after all.
