My cousin was over at ours' last weekend. And with her and my brother in law, came my nephew 9 year old and niece 6. Last time when my mom and my aunts (my mom's two sisters) came over from India, it took this baby girl until the next day to warm up to them. That's half a day and 1 night. Stranger anxiety is an official term. I was fearing the same this time. And this girl does takes some time to watch people around before really warming up to them.
But I was really surprised to learn that where kids are concerned no rules apply. Both my niece and nephew and this little girl were thick as molasses in no time at all! They were running around, giggling and laughing instantly. Like long lost friends or privy to a mischievous secret. Nothing is more binding as share misery or mischief!
At least this time it was the latter (mischief). Who knows in 12 years time it may be the shared misery due to parents!
