The boy had one of his friends over today. This situation leads to problems with his sister, whom does not understand that she’s the third wheel. The boy’s expectations aren’t entirely unreasonable, since he wants to hang out with his bud for a bit. The lass, for her part, doesn’t make it easy for him. She wants<\/em> to play with his friends as well and doesn’t understand why she shouldn’t be able to. So she tails after them hi and lo throughout the house.<\/p>\n

I ran interference a few times for him, taking the lass aside to play games with her and keep her occupied for a time. But there’s only so much that I can do, and only so long that she’ll be distracted. Then it’s right back to square one.<\/p>\n

It does provide for some amusing moments though. The boy likes to take his friend and make a mad dash for his bedroom where he locks the door and his sister out. The lass, being a seasoned veteran at this point in counter-attacking, simply bides her time. When the boy emerges from the room, she quietly locks his door and closes it so he can’t get back in. He was none too pleased when he realized what she’d done. All I could do was unlock the door and chuckle.<\/p>\n

For all his griping about his sister though, he was having a lot of fun running around with her by the end of the afternoon. They were all running around playing the ol’ classic, hide-and-seek. Sure, she seemed to be “it” more often than the boy or his friend; but they were all getting along just fine. Too bad they couldn’t have played like that he whole time.<\/p>\n

Maybe next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
