Being my new regular day off, I got up with the kids this morning (Monday), got everyone dressed and fed, and was cleaning up from breakfast when I heard a yell of great frustration from the other room. It was our 15 month old daughter, whom I had left in her high chair while I was cleaning up the dishes from the meal. I craned my neck around while still washing the dish in my hand and saw her three year old sister standing next to her, looking quite guilty of something.

“Julia, what happened in there?” I hoped to get a reasonably honest answer.

But wasn’t quite prepared for this (after only maybe one second of hesitation):

“We’re playing the ‘try not to scream’ game.”

I guess Emma lost that round… 🙂
