Subject: Dueling Gens

Last night we had my sons (the one who is going to be a channel) 12th birthday at that lovely restuarant I told you about - Valentines. My mum, my aunty Olive, my son Garth and his friend Zac my son Leslie (16 gen) and of course, my channel and Sectuib, Zoe.

It was a pleasant night - until towards the end....

Leslie had a second desert in the way of chocolate ice cream, chocolate sauce and chocolate sprinkles (shades of Dianna!) and Zoe was interested as she hadn't seen chocolate ice cream available. I said "No, Zoe, you have had enough and will make yourself sick." and then, expecting her to do as her companion told her, I turned to my Aunty Olive who was demanding my attention. Next thing I know Zoe is toddling off towards the dessert buffet. Leslie, looking amazingly smug, said "I win." ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! Appearently, as soon as my attention was off her, he looked at her and said "Go on." Bloody gens! She DID feel sick from eating too much and then blamed ME for taking my attention off her!

I'll have to have a strong talk to Leslie.

PS: "You lot can all stay in your pretend SimeGen universe," said Leslie distanfully in the car on the way home, "I'll just remain here in the REAL, StarTrek universe."
