Pfft. Sounded boring.
“I feels loads better, Daddy. I think I might build an Easter egg. For the Easter Bunny. Or maybe make a welcome sign.”
He raised his eyebrows. “And how were you going to build this sign?”
“With Lego, of course, Daddy.” She gave him a look that told him he was silly. “How else?”
“Of course. What was I thinking?”
She didn’t know. He was a Daddy. Who knew how they thought?
If she could figure that out . . . imagine how much naughtiness she’d get away with.
Heck. She could write a book. How to be naughty and not get your butt spanked: The key to controlling your Daddy.
She’d sell so many. Then she could go on tour. Take over the world . . . the possibilities were endless.
Hmm.
Spike wondered what Millie was thinking. That was definitely her, ‘I’m going to conquer the world’ look.
Lord knew if he didn’t keep a close eye on her, he was pretty sure she could take over the world.
And then it would be cake for breakfast, ice cream for lunch, and fairy juice for dinner.
“I’ll get your Lego for you,” he told her.
Best to keep her distracted when she got that look on her face.
Grabbing the tub that held her Lego, he put it on the rug as she attempted to get out of her dinosaur pod. He loved that pod. It was one of the few ways he had to keep her contained.
The door to the playroom opened and Mr. Fluffy wandered in, flopping down on his side about a foot into the room as if he couldn’t possibly make it to his dog bed.
Spike just shook his head at him as he lifted Millie out of the pod and set her on the mat. He’d keep a close eye on her to make certain that she wasn’t overdoing it. She tended to ignore how she was feeling when she was busy.
That’s why she needed him.
“What do you think, Daddy? Do you think the Easter Bunny will like my creation?”
“I think he’ll love it, baby doll.”
She frowned, staring it over. Then she shook her head, wincing as she did.
“It’s not big enough, it needs to be grander. Something that will wow him. I want the Easter Bunny to leave lots of chocolate for me and my friends. What if he comes here and thinks that the sign is crappy and not big enough and then leaves?”
“Baby, that’s not going to happen,” he soothed.
“It might! You don’t know, Daddy! I wants this to be perfect for all my friends.”
Shit. She was getting wound up. He knew it was because she was still feeling tired and out-of-sorts. But this wasn’t going to help her feel any better.
“That’s enough playing for today. It’s nearly dinnertime.”
“No, Daddy! I have to get it right.” Millie gave him a stubborn look.
He cupped her chin in his hand. “No, what you need to do is listen to Daddy. We’ll put your creation away somewhere safe, then pack this up. Dinner and an early night.”
“No, Daddy! No dinner and an early night. Leave my Lego alone.”
