What a beautiful horse.

My, what a big mouth you have.

And big teeth.

Why don't you have some nuggets?

Oh, and my finger while you're at it.

Don't bite too hard.

Just enough to leave a good mark, freak out the babysitter, have my mom rush me to the Children's ER, spend 4 hours there, get stitches, a yucky antibiotic, and enough pain and swelling to make my hand feel like it may never function again.

I won't cry.

Promise.

I'll just breathe like my mommy does when she's having a baby.
