The face of withheld affections - looks like a 3 year old

This is my niece Tayen. This weekend she turned three years old and that makes me feel like an old woman. Many people showed up for a birthday party, and because there was another group there celebrating some other event, she ended up having around 50 people sing happy birthday to her.

In the end, I had to pay her a dollar to get a hug and a kiss. (she's quite stingy in that area). I'm not above buying her love and affection. It's worked before.

I just have to wear her down.
You know.. like I did with Gene.
