Cheerful

Granted.
  This could be considered sadistic,
    but she deserves it.

Yes,
  I will torture my niece.

Summer is over.

She can no longer sleep til 12,
   or 1...

I will drop the hint,
  "eat at the table,"
       while she glares at me.
          trying to sneak to her room.

I can't help but grin.

   Even when she keeps asking me questions about "Grimm".

Very cute little snippet of real life. Kids go back to school early there? We are still on the full two months holiday thing.

Mid August for her startup. I always remember getting out of school after Memorial Day, and starting the week before Labor Day.
