“You’re sneaky, Daddy.” He made it so hard to stay big when he kissed my nose. “But I like my sneaky Daddy, so I’m not going to ask how you did it.”

Then I couldn’t get in trouble later.

Laughing, he patted my bottom. “Good boy.”

Oh.

“Do good boys getrewards?” Maybe I could look up Daddy’s name online and then give him hints about what I wanted as a reward? “I’ve been very good. I didn’t even fall off your lap.”

Daddy stopped giggling and raised one eyebrow. “Am I the type of Daddy who would drop you?”

“Nope.” He was the type of Daddy to get grumpy. “You’re the best Daddy.”

And he was back to being my happy Daddy once I gave him another kiss.

“I’m not sure boys who try to manipulate their Daddies should be defined as cute.” Daddy scrunched up his face and looked skeptical.

“I’m glad you think I’m cute, Daddy.” Yep, the situation called for more cuteness and wiggles. “And you think I’m smart enough to trick you.”

I had manipulated him.

There was notryingabout it.

He huffed, but he knew I was right. “You’re very smart. That’s what I need to watch out for.”

“You watch a lot of things, Daddy.” Like me and everyone on the internet. “But I’m special, right? I’m on your list?”

Daddy smiled and chuckled. “Yes, you are very special. You’re so special, I’m going to make sure I know all about you and I’ll always keep track of you.”

’Cause I was amazing special.

“If I get kidnapped, I can search you online and leave clues.” I could do that. I was smart. “And I can leave you hints for what to buy me for my birthday. I like surprises, Daddy.”

Leaning close, I rested my forehead against his. “You’ll have to watch me close to see which coloring books I want.”

I was going to besooosneaky.

Daddy smiled but it was a naughty one. “I think that sounds like a wonderful plan. I will make sure to look for clues all the time.”

He was so silly.

“You’ll have to be smart because I’m going to be good at this game.” I was going to get so much attention.

“I’m looking forward to it, baby boy.” Rubbing my bottom, Daddy gave me a quick peck on the lips. “I’m very good at getting information, though, so be warned.”

Giggling, I kissed him back. “You own lots of information stuff. I saw online, Daddy.”

He liked knowing stuff.

“I do.” He smiled when his rubs made me wiggle. “I like knowing things about my special boy too.”

Me.

“I’m your special boy, Daddy.” He put me on his list. “Are you going to know everything about me?”

Nodding, Daddy smiled but he had his serious smile on his face. “Yes, but that’s because you’re special.”

Hmm.
