And Then There's the Nine-Year-Old.

He has a lot of energy, and talks very fast. He's very good at ducking when I point the camera in his direction. Early on, he decides he wants me to give him wine, which I won't do. "It isn't up to me," I explain. When he attempts to sneak a sip from my wine glass I gently take it back and tell him softly to get in touch with me when he's 16.

"Why?" he asks.

"No reason," I reply. "And I didn't say that, either."

1 Funny thing is, when I was about eight I was pestering my father heavily to get me a beer when he got one, for they looked so good. At least I thought they did. He finally bought me one, then made me drink the whole can, which, after one sip I knew was a mistake. To this day, I still don't really like - or drink- beer. My mother had a great saying, "leave hers in the horse". She didn't like it either. HAHAH. Hmmm.

2 I flat out ruined my taste for cigarettes at about age 8, when I surreptitiously swiped a still-smouldering butt from where my Dad had flicked it, and spirited it off for a draw. My head nearly exploded, and it was all I could do to keep from giving myself away, while I raced off to wash out my mouth.
