The other night we had a wonderful family dinner with my brothers and one of my cousins in Dallas. My brother made it a point to have babybel cheese out for hors d’oeuvres. Paxten had already had one when she screamed and pointed to another one. I was talking to my mom and wife when she did this so I just handed her an unopened babybel cheese to let her hold it. The plan was to let her hold it until I finished my conversation, and then I would open it for her. The next thing I knew though, she had put it in her mouth and took a bite out of it through the plastic wrapper and the wax shell. As soon as I realized this, I stuck my finger in her mouth and removed whatever was in there. Lots of red came out when I did my first swipe. I decided to do it again, but this time as I stuck my finger in Paxten’s mouth, she decided to bite down HARD on my finger. I didn’t want to jerk my finger out and hurt her, so I just left it there until Lora got her to let go of the death grip that her teeth had on my finger. I think it lasted only about 5 seconds, but it felt longer than that. There was a lot of commotion going on during this time, and once I got my finger out, Paxten started crying. It broke all of our hearts. She finally got her babybel and it was opened this time. I love my sweet, sensitive piranha!
