My dear, beloved minnow is becoming a barnacle! A barnacle is a crustacean that attaches itself to bottoms of ships and other various aquatic things. Well, my minnow is turning into a barnacle, and it's not a good thing!
I have this little creature attached to my leg as I'm working in the kitchen--so I've given up cooking and am making DH grill every night. I wouldn't want to endanger the little barnacle with cooking hot food near her! I've also had a hard time unloading the dishwasher as she is either attached to my leg which makes putting dishes away rather difficult, so I've given up unloading the dishwasher too!
The bathroom--the barnacle comes into the bathroom when I'm in there. I could be showering or doing business, she is there--no privacy whatsoever!
The barnacle wants to sit on my lap and "read" all day long! She is a speed-reader and just wants to turn the pages of the books, doesn't really care about the story in the book, she only wants to look at babies and animals, over and over and over again, and on my lap!
She wakes up during the night and usually just needs her nuk plugged back into her little mouth and drifts back off to sleep. The past two nights have been like this: reach for the nuk in the crib--feel two little arms, or tentacles, wrap themselves around my neck in a death grip and hang on. My little barnacle!
I'm really touched that she wants to spend so much time with me, but give me a little space, will ya, barnacle?! This better just be some sort of phase you are going through.
