Laurel's mind of yet worked in a simple way. Most of her abandonment issues were pushed under the surface, and she showed little signs of being deprived of anything; except maybe a constant deprivation of attention. She needed to be in the spotlight, always, and would do whatever to get her way. Yet for now, screaming and giggling and being an energetic child seemed enough to always get what she wanted and to be in the centre of all attention.

The subject of hunger was quickly forgotten when Spring offered up a different subject. Spring asked if she wanted to play and Laurel seemed to think for a second or three, a rare moment of silence surrounding her, before she made her decision. "Play House Spring!" Soon after Laurel decided: "Spring daddy, Laurel gonna mommy!" But of course their House wouldn't be complete without puppies, 'cause they wouldn't be a real family.

So when Laurel spotted a large snail edging its way along the dirt not far from them she gasped and screamed, "NO PUPPY DIS NO LEAVE!" and dashed off to fetch her precious child lest it get away from her.
