Getting Ready For School (open)
School shopping with a very opinionated five-year-old was an experience Sydney would like to forget, mutant power aside. It had been a constant battle for the past three hours. Zoey loved being out and loved going shopping, it was just her taste in clothes. Everything the child picked out had been black. It wasn't any place strange where she picked up her taste in fashion, but did everything have to be black?

It just made school shopping VERY difficult.

In the end most of Zoey's clothes were black, but Syd had managed to get the child to agree on some clothes with other colors in them.

Syd sighed as the front door closed behind her. She dropped the numerous bags she carried in the foyer. First something cold to drink, then she'd come back and grab the bags to put the clothes away. This year Syd had bought her at least double what they had bought last year. It was nice to have a good paying job and to be able to provide for her daughter. Zoey's birthday was in a week and Syd would be able to make it the best birthday of Zoey's life. She just had to find time to go shopping without Zoey.

She made her way into the kitchen in search of that cold drink.

	"I'd like the company, but you and your siblings don't need to get Zoey gifts." Syd was almost afraid to see what qualifies as gifts for a six year old to Asgardians. "I think as long as you're there for the party, she'll be happy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tis not true - thou'rt the lady of the house, and we art guests here. Tis nigh duty itself that the women help to raise thy child, and duty of the warriors to aid in providing gifts for thee and thy children for such occasions. T'would be most rude otherwise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay. If you insist on getting Zoey something, please make it something small." Syd didn't want her daughter getting spoiled and getting expensive gifts all of a sudden. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He scratches his chin, considering this. Then a smile spreads across his face and he nods firmly. "Ver' well, I understand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," she said. "I just don't want her getting used to expensive gifts and big gifts. She really does love spending time with you and your sisters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Could be," Syd said. "Zoey does spend the most time with her and your sister has been most patient with her." Which Syd would have never suspected could have happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, my sister hast great patience at times. She must for her arts." Yeah, he won't admit it often, but he does have some respect for his sister, maybe even likes her a little... from time to time. "And she comest from a family of warriors. Methinks she ist enjoying the attention." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Syd knew all about siblings getting most of the attention. Her sister was the one that always got the attention. Syd was good at blending into the background.

She nodded. "Some people shine and others stay in their shadows. Zoey adores her, actually all of you. I'm really grateful to all of you for being nice to her and being patient with her. Kids require a great deal of patience and a lot of adults won't bother with them at all."
