When Gabriel's eyes light up, and he gets that elfish grin of his going, you just know he is up to no good.
So, check it out. We are playing trains the other day. He has his train, and I have mine.
"Here's the green one, Papa. You LIKE green."
Yes, I like the green train. Edward, I believe.
He likes Spencer. He is the fastest train of all. (LOL. Why is this predictable? Gabriel is going to be a race car driver, as Natalya always says.)
Gabriel, then, goes on his track, and I go on mine. We usually go in opposite directions, so we don't race as such, we just happen to meet up along the way.
This is all fine and dandy, until I accidently dropped something on his track, so that when he came around, he had to stop.
Well let met tell you, this was a grave error on Papa's part, as Gabriel immediately saw to it that if HE was going to be held up, well then Papa was going to be brought to a standstill.
In no time at all, before I even knew what was happening, he had dragged out of nowhere an assembly of creatures the likes I have never seen — from stingrays to dragonflies to dinosaurs — a true motley assortment of creatures, and parked them in a line upon my track.
I am staring at this, speechless, while he smiles his big grin, and his eyes are dancing with sparkles.
