All children, it seems, are fond of teasing, and 10-year-old Joe (who should know better) is no exception. He decided that the humorous potential of shutting 3-year-old Angela in her room would be worth facing the wrath of both Angela and her mother.
Mom was downstairs and would be none the wiser anyway.
Or so he thought.
Angela, who was playing quietly with her My Loving Family dollhouse, seemed surprised at first to see her brother pull the door shut. She decided that she didn’t like playing in her room with the door closed—too creepy, too claustrophobic.
She began to pound on the door for him to let her out, just as Joe expected.
What he didn’t anticipate, however, was the way that she chose to vocalize her frustration.
“This…is…ridiculous!” she hollered.
And she was right; it was.
It was so ridiculous, in fact, that it worked to Joe’s advantage. I was laughing so hard as he relayed the story that I forgot all about his punishment.
Ad Jesum per Mariam,
kids are CUTE. hehe.
