ruby's tics

preface: my squeaking tic is back.  


let it be known that i babysit for the cutest kids in the world -- leo, ruby, and miles.  they are absolutely precious in every single way possible.  


so today while ruby and i were coloring she started to squeak, just like i do.  it usually happened right after i would tic.  here is the conversation that occurred between myself and ruby, the 4 year old.


R: why do you go like this [she proceeds to squeak and blink her eyes, like i do]
A: well, ruby, i have something wrong with me.  i've told you that before.
*we continue to color in silence.  and then ruby squeaks*
A: ruby, why are you squeaking?
R: you do it.
A: well do you think it's funny? or cool?
R: i think it's cool.
A: are you trying to be like me?
R: yes.
* conversation over.


[1] oh, the innocence of a four year old.
[2] who knew tics could be so cool that others want to have them?
