| Cate, helping with the laundry. |
As I was pouring the milk on the oatmeal and putting the bowls on the table, Sam tried to help his sister, by moving her bowl closer to her. A move of mere inches. Catherine, at the sight of this, burst into a screaming fit like I have never heard from her. The crescendo of her shrieking was followed by, "Hate boys! Hate, hate, hate, hay-T."
Oh, my.
I have never heard Samuel use the word hate, and I am not sure he even knows what it means. Jonah, I am sure knows what it means, but I have no memory of him using it. Where did Cate pick up this vocabulary? Even if she has heard her father or I use it, it was not like this.
Hate boys!!!! Hate, hate, hate.
This from the same girl, who a few weeks ago, was dancing naked with glee at the sight of boys in the backyard.
I think she may be conflicted on the issue.
Ha! Hatties's most venomous insult is, "you little boy-boy!!!" It is spoken in the crossest voice possible and certainly intended to wound! Sometimes I'm a "little boy-boy"! I have no idea where she gets this kind of thing from - but I can sympathise with her need to develop some kind of defensive strategies to keep up with her big brother and sister.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm, girls...they are SO different. SO VERY DIFFERENT. May I say this? I love my girls...cannot imagine life without their UTTER BEAUTY and SWEETNESS. They are such a BLESSING to me. BUT, when it came to Sam (my lil one) I was SO GLAD he was a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCate is darling "helping" with the laundry.
Females will have their little whims! And poor Sam is probably still wondering what it was all about :)
