spoiled rotten (unlike tomatos)

my nephew is adorable but spoiled rotten. he's at that age where everyone and everything adores every move and sound he makes. and he knows it too. his parents cater to his every whim, which i can't say is a bad thing, given his tender young age of 1.5 years and how he's allergic to heat and needs a climate controlled room in order to nap and cannot be disturbed with any slight noises. but he's starting to like the cause and effect phenomenon too much. he must have thrown his toys and any other object in his hand to the ground about a million times last week and i stood by and watched his parents pick up the object about a million times. talk about fun cause and effect. he loves playing with silverware but i drew the line when he was playing with butterknives. i had to yank them out of his hands.
it was fun. he's cute. the makings of a spoiled kid continues..
