[Photo Story] Dad's Babysitters

 05/10/2015

Sakuno and Vanja's daughter (Angelregion Napichoo) stayed with me for a while, so we thought a photo story involving my guys was a must. It took me a while to get to it for several reasons but it's here, finally!

Once again I'm sorry for the lack of dioramas. Salica sets a really high bar for the rest of us mortals. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

She said: "I'll go shopping with my sisters, so take care of Aiko for the rest of the day." "But I have a dentist appointment!", I replied. "I don't care. Cancel it and schedule it for another day. I deserve some vacations!", she finished.

Vanja: "And that is why we're here, you and me."

Vanja: "I'll have to cancel de appointment and be charged some penalty fees."

Tian: "Aiko is here!"

Vanja: "Yes she is. Sakuno went shopping with her sisters."

Tian: "Look at her, they grow so fast. We seldom see her around, don't we?"

Aiko: "Gabubrrrr!"

Tian: "I'd love to be 'baby' fluent. What do you think she said?"

Vanja: "Hum... " * Is having an idea *

Lukkas: "It's little Aiko!"

Lukkas: "Isn't she cute? Can you tell she's Sakuno's daughter?"

Tian: "Indeed. So glad she doesn't resemble the dad at all."

Vanja: * Gets up * "Guys! I have a proposition to make."

Lukkas: "... Yes?"

Vanja: "What would it take for you to replace me? It'll only be a couple hours."

Lukkas: "Would you do anything?"

Vanja: "Be reasonable, it's only going to be a couple of hours."

Lukkas: "Wash my socks."

Tian: "And clean the bathroom."

Vanja: "Ugh, I'm not your maid guys. Fine, whatever... Deal."

Vanja: "See ya in a bit, nerds. And if something happens to Aiko, heads will roll."

Lukkas: "Nothing will happen to her. She doesn't even talk."

Tian: "She does say something... Sometimes."

Aiko: "Baputtttt!"

Tian: "See?"

Lukkas: "And what do we do with her?"

Tian: "Wait, I've got an idea."

Tian: "Look Aiko, this is a pink DS that you will inherit. Actually, you should keep it right now to save dad from shame."

Lukkas: "Uh... "

Tian: "This is how you use it. You turn it on and... Animal Crossing?"

Marko: "MingMing, what are you doing? That baby can barely stand on her two feet."

Tian: "Babies are like sponges, they absorb everything."

Marko: "Not at that age!"

Lukkas: * Gets up * "And since when did you know so much about babies?"

Marko: "Since now. Leave her with me for a couple of minutes and learn how to take care of a baby."

Aiko: * Is cheering *

Marko: "Isn't it brutal?"

Marko: "With my lessons you'll turn into a pro in no time."

Lukkas: "So... Wasn't she too young to learn things?"

Marko: "I'm not teaching her: I'm entertaining her."

Lukkas: "If you're going to entertain her, do it with something else, not that crap of an instrument. I'll teach her how to play a superior instrument, ie. the electric guitar."

Marko: "What was that?"

Marko: "I'm gonna make you regret those words."

Aiko: * Laughs *

Lukkas: "Alright but place Aiko somewhere safe first. And let's settle this, right here, right now."

Marko: "I'll do it as soon as I... Hum... Is it just me or it got sinky here?"

Lukkas: "Oh no, please no... "

Marko: "Do you know how to change diapers?"

Lukkas: "No I don't, but I do know someone who can... "

Marko: "... And he's gonna call us 'useless' again."

Aiko: "Gujuuu... "

MOMENTS LATER

Volodymyr: "You're the most useless, worthless bunch I've ever met in my life. Sometimes I think I deserve a reward for dealing with you guys."

* Everyone's ashamed *

Volodymyr: "There you go. By the way, where is Vanja?"

Tian: "He left her with us for a couple of hours. Or so he said."

Volodymyr: "And I'm sure there was blackmail involved."

Lukkas: "Uhm... Yes. Thank you Vlad, you've saved our lives."

Volodymyr: "No prob. I hope you learned something."

Lukkas: "To be honest, I just forgot everything I saw."

Volodymyr: "I'd laugh if it wasn't for the fact that I know you're speaking the truth. I'll be busy so don't bother me again."

Lukkas: "... "

Vanja: "Yo dudes! I'm back!"

Tian: "You talk and look like an idiot. Please take off those shades, you don't need them any more."

Vanja: "Wow, so rude."

Vanja: "And... How did my little angel behave?"

Lukkas: "She did actually pretty good. Didn't cry or anything... She only pooped and Vlad changed the diapers."

Vanja: "Was he upset about it?"

Lukkas: "Nah."

Lukkas: "Don't forget about my socks!"

Vanja: "Whatevs."

Marko: "You should bring Aiko over more often. I realized I don't hate babies that much... "

Vanja: "You realized that just now?"

Marko: "Eh... Not a word to Kristen or any of her pesky sisters, OK?"

Vanja: "Heh, heh. OK."
