This is the face of a girl who gets what she wants:

innocent enough
Oh hey! Watch me do this! Watch me! Watch me! WATCH ME!

Sure, she seems innocent and adorable. And she will play by herself just fine, as long as you are looking at her.

But if you happen to look away?

You just made the BIGGEST mistake of your LIFE. My disdain for you is epic.

Then she goes through a carefully thought-out process to get your attention:

1. she fake cries,

2. she laughs, then sticks out her lower lip when you look at her,

3. she grunts or shrieks, then laughs when you come into her eye line,

4. or, if you are her daddy, she will toss her toys away, then look expectantly at you.

And if you still have the NERVE to not give her your undying attention?

She brings out the big guns:

ANGRY

Even inanimate objects aren’t safe:

LASERS
WHY DON’T YOU FIT IN MY MOUTH! LASER BEAM EYES!!

So you give in, and you make eye contact, and you see this:

ANGEL

so you buy her a pony, a segway, and a harp-playing monkey, and you hope she someday learns to use her powers for good and not evil.
