Growing Pains

"Hey, that's not nice, Charlotte!!"

"What? What did I do?" she asks me, her three-year old eyes trying to woo me into complacency.

"We do NOT grab toys from people's hands, specifically people smaller than you, like your baby brother."

"Okay. Sorry, Momma."

"One day he's going to be bigger than you," I remind her. "He's going to be as big as Daddy." Mike is almost 6'4.

"Wow, Daddy's GINORMOUS! I better be careful then," she purses her lips and wrinkles her forhead, like she's thinking.

"You just need to treat him with respect and he will learn to do the same to you."

"Okay, Momma!"

Three seconds later, I turn around to see her sitting on her brother. Gently, but sitting on him nonetheless.

"Charlotte, get off of Sawyer! Why are you sitting on him?!"

"Because maybe if I can squish him like a bug, he won't get bigger than me."

The little ones are a treat, aren't they? :-)

Sounds like Charlotte needs a "green HotWheels skrisher gun." For the things you need to skrish.

We'll have her people contact Stewie's people to work out the logistics. Oh wait. That's us. Hi.
