CHAPTER THREE: BOOMERANG SPOON

120 AG - 6 months

"Boomerang is coming! Woooh" was saying Sokka, all dazzled as he once used to be before a battle, swinging a spoon around the kitchen.

He was feeding Lin with his strategy of transforming the spoon in a boomerang, a solution that Toph, had to admit, proved to work really well with her firstborn. At first, she thought it was just an idiotic idea. But Sokka really proved to be the idea man in the past, and he definitely still was.

"Open your mouth darling, we don't want boomerang to crash"

And Lin did, spread out her jaws and started chewing the porridge without any complaints.

"Ah-ahh-ii" a sound that clearly meant that she was ready for the next flight- I mean, spoon.

It was quite funny to see the two of them playing that way. Toph couldn't see anything of this of course, but she could imagine it perfectly, enjoying the scene in her own way. Lin was laughing brightly, with her baby jiggles. Sokka was amused too, she could clearly feel it from his vibrations, his hearth pounding with pride and excitement everytime the little girl swallowed a portion of food. No doubt Sokka would look like an idiot while doing this sort of game, but as long as Lin was eating, it was fine to her. Not that Sokka playing silly wasn't enough to bestow complete amusement on her.

"One day she will spit everything on your face, I warn you" exclaimed Toph teasing him.

"Why would that happen? She looooves booooomerang!"

"Yeah but you know, you were once the one who said it: boomerangs always come back, sooner or later"

"You lack faith in boomerangs" Sokka sounded offended.

"You believe in them too much"

And so it was.

Toph hadn't finished her sentence that fifth boomerang-spoon really ricocheted. On Sokka's clothes. When Lin decided to spit it with a clear burbling sound. Enough for Toph to understand what have just happened.

"Ahah! Maybe you should have picked the image of the flyin' bison entering a cave" uttered Toph trying to control her laughs.

Sokka was totally disappointed, some porridge dropping down even from his cheek: "I hate you, Toph! You mislead my boomerang!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAAH!"

-Author's corner-

Hi again! I know that chapter is painfully short . But I promise you the next one will be much longer. I love the idea of Sokka doing his best to make Lin eat...and I can clearly figure in my mind the image of him jog along the room with a spoon full of food totally looking stupid Ahahah
