Just to clarify that DD1 (Dear Daughter 1) is 13, and the one and only person that Ruby likes (aside from my Aunt who lives in Australia and is therefore not a regular vistor in our home in Switzerland).
DD1: Mum, if i ask you a question do you promise to give me an honest answer?
Me: Yes. Well probably anyway.
DD1: While I am at school during the day do you sometimes secretly cuddle Ruby?
Me: No. Absolutely not.
DD1: Never? Do you ever bring her down to sit on your desk while you work?
Me: Um, no. It never really crossed my mind, because I don’t think having Ruby wandering over to bite me periodically would be helpful for my productivity.
DD1: If I worked from home I would cuddle Ruby all day. It would be amazing, because even if my job was boring I would be cuddling Ruby so I would be happy.
I just love that my reasonably intelligent 13 year old thinks that all I do while she is at school is secretly cuddle a guinea pig that either bites me or shrieks at me every time I touch her.
And just becasue she looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth (until you are actually on the receiving end of her fury) here is a photo of Ruby.
