Favoritism?

[poetree]

Does anyone else find that their chin favors adults over children? When we have Linus out for playtime in my bathroom he will just sit next to the toilet if I'm not in the room. Once I'm there, he will bounce off the walls.

I'm also the only one he'll let scratch under his chin.

I know Lucy tends to favor me over any other member of the house. She'll come into my hands more willingly, sit for longer and let me pet her, etc. etc. Occasionally, when she's trying to figure out how to undo the latches on her door, if a kid interferes with her, she'll make a bit of a spitting and grunting noise at him or her. When I do the same, she just ignores me.

It may not be adults vs. children as much as the fact that your chin favors you over other members of the household.
