Snippet

Another snippet to be followed up later. Just in case I forget. And it's too priceless to forget.

Context.
The twins birthday. They're all wound up from having people over and cake to eat. Jordan refuses to brush her teeth. I tell her if she doesn't, she can't have a pacifier and pretend to go outside to throw away the pacifier. I am unaware that Evan has seen all this.

Then Jordan flings her toothbrush across the room resulting in a loud bellow from me and a slap on her wrist. This of course, causes her to wail. Then Evan pipes in.

Evan: Che Che cry. (Che che or Jie Jie is sister)
Me: Why did Che Che cry?
Evan: Mommy naughty.
Me (Trying to keep a straight face): Why was Mommy naughty?
Evan: Mommy throw Che Che's pacy (That's what J calls her Pacifier)

So, I'm the bad guy and the boy didn't see anything wrong in his sister flinging the toothbrush.

I'm touched at his protectiveness over his sister. But at the same time, me being cast in the role of baddie so early on...it's going to be a long 20 years!
