Little Feet, Little Brother and LaLa

We’ve had a very busy house this weekend. The nieces spent a couple of nights and the nephews stayed with us last night. You met Deron (a.k.a. Little Feet) in a much earlier post. Little Feet has a Little Brother named Daniel; and they have a cousin, living in St. Lucia, who calls herself LaLa… She really does call herself that. Little Feet, Little Brother and LaLa (who visits Trinidad often) are all quite familiar with Aunty Kim’s- or rather Aunty Pim[’s] depending on which one you’re speaking to- coffee making procedures.


Little Feet and Little Brother went with me to the kitchen this morning to make some “hot hot coffee”. I had just started the kettle for the French Press process, when I was accosted by Little Feet who asked, “Why you not using that one?” while pointing to the Silvia. I explained that I was making another type of coffee this morning as it was quicker. I showed him the French Press and asked if he remembered making coffee in that before. He gave a quick nod, a forlorn look at the Silvia and then ran off to tell the doggies good morning! I guess he wasn’t too keen on the ‘boring’ French Press this morning.

While Little Feet is interested, most times, in the brewing of the coffee, Little Brother likes to serve the coffee. This morning was no different. I finished making Granny’s coffee, gave the cup handle to Little Brother and held the other side. Off to give Granny her coffee! If Little Brother ever serves you a cup of coffee, please be prepared to grab your cup as soon as he approaches you. He will shove the cup at you if you don’t put your hand out soon enough. Granny was quick.

Lovely morning in the end. The adults had some El Machete from the French Press and the under-3s enjoyed some “hot hot” Milo!
