Sienna reached out and ruffled her daughter's hair. "I have learned. Thank you so much for your teaching, teacher Ali. I cannot believe that you have learned this already. I am impressed."
Ali grinned. She thumped her chest proudly, "I am your best baby, mama. I know everything. I will teach you everything slowly."
Sienna's hear swelled with pride. "Then I will rely on you not to make a fool of myself when I meet the priest someday. You will have to whisper proper greetings in my ear and help me choose a gift."
Ali giggled. "Did you hear papa? I am mama's teacher and assistant. I am Uncle Timothy."
Elias smiled. "Good for you. You better ask for a salary like the one uncle Timothy earns."
Ali gasped and turned her eyes to Sienna, wide and expectant. Meanwhile, Sienna turned her eyes to Elias, glaring at him. Would it have killed him not to say anything? "Thanks for the suggestion." she said sarcastically.
"You are welcome." Her responded, with an amused smile.
