So far Macy is like a physically mature 7 year old with ADHD and poor impulse control. (I should know, I live with one that is only lacking in the physical maturity department. Plus no fangs and/or immortality) This makes it really hard for me not to cast York in the mommy role. I am really hoping for some character development here, because this is all fucked up in my head now.

Back to the effing vampires and the leather sex-inducing kilts. *sigh* Where's Austin?

Shopping. I hate shopping. I hate reading about shopping. Don't care about the characters clothes. Don't care about fetish shops. Unless you're going to have nice public screaming match or something, spare me the shopping. No! Shopping!

Yeah, some things just don't work for everyone. Macy does get a little more mature, but whether it's enough for you I don't know.

Macy is childish when he can be, and responsible when he has to be. Even scary and authorative. He's not someone that needs being taken care of, so I never got the York being the mommy thing. Usually immature characters makes me gag, but Macy isn't really immature. Just...carefree whenever he can. Delightful little vamp ^^
I am sure the mommy thing is all just me. Because I happen to be the mommy of somebody fairly similar. I'm gonna keep going and hope that that responsible stuff comes up soon.
For your sake I hope your kid never filled the bathtub with marshmallows ^^ and I'm one of those with a very weak mothering-instinct. So where you see immaturity and irresponsibility I might see funny entertainment ;p
Macy is actually a very responsible character who steps up to the plate and bosses people around in a surprisingly assertive way. Definitely not twinkish. Aiko nailed it. He's whimsical and plays when he can, but he's ferocious and domineering when he needs to be. It's like the mask comes off and you see the inner M. Then he goes back to acting like a house cat.
I've never had that many marshmallows in the house. But I am pretty sure that has been the only thing stopping him! Just this morning in the car he confided in me that when he goes on 'Destroy, Build, Destroy' and he has to build a robot that responds to your commands he is secretly going to put a missile launcher in the robot's arm. Sounds like fun, yes?
Alright. There is hope then for me and this book.
He is awesome. World domination is inevitable.
For some reason I'm getting flashbacks to my childhood reading that. Only thing that kept me out of trouble was reading. Something my mum figured out quickly. So she was carrying around books for me from I was 4-5 years old, to avoid things like house fires chocolate geysers and floods.
Troublemakers.
I was a model child. *cough* Really.

I actually was a model child. Always stuck with my nose in a book, compliant and eager to please. Then there was my brother.... Guess who got the child who takes after my brother, in length (my brother is 2.05 m) and character? Hint: not my brother. One of the biggest challenges of motherhood I have found to be that my kids are way more stubborn than I am. And it's considered bad parenting to say: 'Fine. Whatever. Go rot your brains and bodies with violent video games and pop tarts if you want to so badly!' I keep having to pretend I will stick to my guns.
I wasn't a troublemaker, just very curious ^^

Sometimes that's the way it works. My brother's daughter is an almost-clone of me. Much to his aggravation and dismay. Personally, I think it's hilarious and I encourage her every chance I get. :>

how does pop tarts taste like? (todays random question from the ignorant Norwegian)
Pop tarts are the pinnacle of processed food. They have no actual ingredients you would recognize in the wild. They taste like sugar-frosted cardboard. I can send you a box, if you want.

They are disgusting. Sugar flavored chewy things. Kids love them.
