okay bye

i'm visiting family in Chicago. my niece, Fiona, does this charming thing when she wants to be left alone. she goes off, just a bit away from the action. if you inch closer or try to call her back, she stands her ground and with a sweetly dismissive wave says, "okay bye" (no pause, the words rush together because she is Serious). it's adorable and sad at the same time. enchanting.
