Author's notes: Inspired by Autumn's way with children.
There's something funny about seeing this. See how those little kiddies don't know what hit them. Or rather, their parents. The kiddies themselves have a damn good time.
It started with those two kids at the train one time when we had been downtown for some reason. I can't even remember the reason but in a seat nearby there was a woman with two small kids. She's having problem keeping them calm for the ride and the kids are crying up a storm and are very restless. The poor woman has almost fallen asleep of exhaustion taking care of those two enegery-bundles.
That's when Logan surprises me a lot.
He's sticking out his tounge and is making noises and the kids are soon imitating him, their restlessness and whatever they were crying for forgotten. Their mom seemed to not notice or she was just thankful for someone else to entertain the kids on the train home.
It continued from there. One day when we were just sitting on a bench in a park somewhere and a mom with three kids (from 3 to 8 years old) walked by.
I didn't know that he had bought a pacifier sometime, keeping it in his pocket at all times. I don't know why and I know better than to ask.
It was rather funny to see though. I mean, it's not everyday you see a big badass like Logan putting a pacifier in his mouth to amuse a couple of small kiddies. The look on the mom's face was priceless and the kids looked rather funny too, especially the oldest one - the younger one immediately started sucking on her own pacifier with much more intensity. That's one little girl that won't be weened of the pacifier any time soon I'm sure.
Wonder what it will be next time? Funny though I am sure and if he ever tries to tell you that he does not like children, don't believe him. He adores them and one day he'll be a great dad. Those kids of his will be very lucky indeed.
