"... Michelle still sucks her thumb." One of Mike's childhood habits was thumb sucking. He hadn't broken the
habit until he was nine, a source constant harmless ribbing within the family.
"That's not fair." stropped the little girl, then as an adorable reflex, she stamped her foot and stuck her
left thumb in her mouth while twirling her hair with the other hand. I wanted to take a picture so bad.
"Let's get down to dinner" suggested Erin.
"But won't mum and dad..."
"Way ahead of you Carly, I wish everyone but the three of us were unaware of Mike and only knew Michelle until
the wish is undone" stated Erin precisely. "That is assuming Michelle behaves, otherwise I may just leave her
that way," she added as a final clear cut threat. Michelle gulped and the thumb stayed firmly stuck.
Be good or be a girl forever the choice was clear.
