SCENE: Jacob and Jennifer are sitting side-by-side on the couch. Jennifer is on her lappy and Jacob is eating dinner and watching television.
Jennifer: Do you want to be a peach and give me some beverage of the liquid water variety? [smiles creepily]
Jacob: [Continues to watch t.v. without responding]
Jennifer: [extends one hand to turn Jacob's head to the side so he can witness her expression]
Jacob: You should get your own water.
Jennifer: You mean my creepy smile didn't work!? How about if I flutter my eyelashes?
(Note: Fluttering eyelashes was almost guaranteed to work on my dad, who would always respond "Got a bug in your eye?" and then acquiesce to our requests.)
Jennifer: [flutters eyelashes maniacally while continuing to smile creepily]
Jacob: [Nudges Jennifer away from his face so he can better watch his sports.]
Jennifer: How about the puppy dog pout? [Sticks out bottom lip and makes her chin tremble.]
Jacob: Why can't you get up yourself?
Jennifer: Because I lost my legs in the war. [Glances at legs.] These are prosthetics.
(In case you were wondering, I ended up getting my own beverage. Harrumph!)
