The Gift

I have married into a family where most men possess a special gift with women. I've heard the stories and seen it in action. My father in law has it, my husband certainly has it, and I figured my son would inherit it too, right along with the black hair and deep brown eyes.

Zachary has been honing his craft over the years, first trying it out on grandmas (highly successful), then cousins and aunties (all adoring fans now), the ladies at church (he was slipped a piece of communion bread about a year after his baptism), and various babysitters.

Last night, he pulled out all the stops and managed to stay up till 10:30 PM with Ms. Sarah rubbing his back and the light still on. When Mommy and Daddy got home and saw all this going on, the thing that first caught our attention was the gleam in his eye and the sly smile on his face.

Ladies of the world, let this serve as your warning - Zachary Moroneso has found his gift and he is not afraid to use it!
