Big Brother

Photobucket
I grew up with THREE big brothers, so I am no stranger to teasing. In fact, most pictures of me as a child I'm looking pretty grumpy. Mom always said it was because I was constantly teased. I believe it.

Lately, this is the conversation at our house:

Crying from the other room. Maybe I should let them resolve it themselves.

Crying gets louder and more annoying. I decide to intervene.

Entering the room I ask, "HY, what's going on here?"

Mini-E is on the ground crying, HY looking very guilty as he quickly moves off of her.

Clearly something IS going on here.

HY says something unintelligible. He's trying to throw me off, I can feel it.

"Son, why is your sister crying? Are you being mean to her?"

He shakes his head like he would never do that!

Mini-E stops crying to listen to the punishment I'm about to dish out. Her eyes flickering back and forth...

"Okay, bud--just don't bother her anymore, okay?" that'll do the trick.

"But I wanna bother her anymore."

ah, of course you do.
