Rare Moment of Sweetness

I like my niece, Natalie, a lot. She's witty, smart and funny, and I just adore her. She's soon to be 11 and is far more sarcastic than sweet, which is probably why J finds her so amusing. They are so much alike it's scary. You would never ever say she was a sweet girl.

She loves penguins and the other day she came across a penguin onesie online that she wanted to buy for my baby. A rare moment of sweetness. She showed it to my sister and then asked if my sister thought she'd be invited to the shower. Of course she would be, but my sister didn't want to make promises and said she assumed she would be but didn't know for sure.

My niece's response showed her more typical side, "You mean I'm going to pay shipping and handling and I'm not even gonna get to go to the shower?"

Now that's the Natalie I know and love!
