Big Sister

I came upstairs while the girls were playing to get a little graphics work done, when I suddenly heard Annie 'herding' her little sister up the stairs towards me.
From the stairwell, "Ellie. Ellie! Go up the stairs. No, Ellie. Go UP! The stairs. No. Up the stairs. Just go up. Ellie. No. Just go up. [long pause] Ellie, I'm getting angry now, look at me, my face is angry."
Ellie giggles.
Annie, exasperated, "Ellie! Angry is not funny, it is serious!"


A few minutes later, Ellie had been crawling all over my poor, achy body, at one point causing me to kinda yelp out in pain. Annie glared at her little sister, then turned to me and said sympathetically, "I'm thinking that 'cause Ellie does stuff to hurt you a lot, we should've just had a boy."

Hee, hee, hee! I love Annie's comments and Ellie's utter lack of respect for her older sister's rules.

As an older sister, I can relate to Annie's frustration. Little siblings never do what you want them too.

That is hilarious. Sounds just like an older bossy sister should sound. This made Dalan and I both laugh! I hope you are all doing ok.
