Bobby timed it perfectly, his eyes no longer cunning, calmly jumped off the sofa, waved to Enna Clark, and said, "Woman, I'm heading out."
He warned the dopey little girl, "Remember to listen to Mummy and Brother Hayes while I'm not home. If I come back and find out you've been running around, no lollipop for you tonight. Got it?"
Gigi unwillingly pouted her little mouth, softly retorted, "Gigi is good!"
She probably felt her momentum wasn't enough, so she puffed out her little chest, looking justifiably proud.
Bobby glanced at her, looked away, and said domineeringly, "Being good is best, but if you're naughty, the punishment is no candy."
Then he slung his backpack over his shoulder and fussed at Enna Clark like a housekeeper, "Woman, if she's not good, just spank her. A spanking won't make her bleed."
Gigi understood he meant to spank her, puffed out her rosy cheeks, and pointed her chubby little finger at Bobby, whining in a baby voice, "Brubby bad!"
