Lucyfer

Da horridly-acrid-mooded "horned monster" dat Linus's short-fused big sister becomes whenever anything doesn't go her way.

A classic "Lucyfer" moment:

Linus: I hate to mention it, but you've been awfully crabby since Christmas.
Lucy (scowling): Anybody who is at all sensitive is bound to have a post-Christmas letdown!
Linus (raising his eyebrows in a hopefully-shrewd expression): Isn't a post-Christmas letdown and being crabby really the same thing?
Lucy (outburstingly squalling at the top of her lungs, so that her mouth appears as a huge round black cavern): NOT AT ALL!!!
Linus (does his familiar "flip-flip" somersaulting over backwards in startled shock)

bed-fixing embrace

A tender wordless arms-around dat you perform wif yer sweetie during a shared slumber-period when you realize dat da blankets are in disarray; what ya do is to softly cradle her in yer arms, super-gently draw her upwards or sideways off of da bed and silently clasp her in a standing position for a long moment (slow-'n'-gentle shoulder-blade-scrunchies and quietly-affectionate lips-to-lips smooches optional, but often helpful in making said snooze-interruption even less distressing for her), then slowly-and-dreamily release her as you gradually step back a pace, and then immediately set about straightening up da blankets and pillows so dat she can see right away why you performed said unusual/unexpected bodily-maneuvers wif her.

Always employing a bed-fixing embrace will ensure dat your nap-sharing snuggle-bunny will never significantly mind having her sleepy-time occasionally disturbed, since it will mostly take da shock or "sting" outta said interruptions, plus of course it will have two hugely-welcome additional perks --- extra SNUGGLEZ, and being able to crawl back into a neat-'n'-comfy bed, and thus she can doze off in yer arms again in freshly-smoothed-blankets-and-tidied-pillows comfort.

raising Cain

What his parents apparently did an abysmal job of, if he grew up to be the murderer of his own brother Abel!

Juvenile delinquency may not currently be at an all-time high, but there are still multitudes of offenders --- lots of irresponsible parents still "raising Cains" out there!
