| The Gremlin at the Museum of Flight's Free Family Fun with Firemen Day |
During a lull in their playing, the Arch-Gremlin turned to the Gremlin and smacked him on the shoulder. The Gremlin didn't miss a beat, and spoke softly.
"Jasp-air, if you do that again I'm going to have to hit you back." The Arch-Gremlin, also four, decided she needed to respond to this.
"If you do that I'll cry and tell my mom." Unlike last time, the Gremlin was one step ahead of her.
"But I'll tell my mom first, so let's just not." This was apparently acceptable to the Arch-Gremlin.
"Okay."
Just a few minutes later, she turned and smacked him again.
"Jasp-air! We just talked about this!"
"I know. I just wanted to see what would happen."
"Okay, but I am getting very frustrated with you."
A short time later they were playing at the water table, when the Gremlin turned and sprayed the Arch-Gremlin in the face. As soon as she recovered, the Gremlin looked over and bounced his curls in innocence.
"What? It was an accident."
"No it wasn't!"
"You're right, it wasn't. But i'm pretty sure it wasn't an accident when you hit me earlier."
"No, it wasn't."
And with that, the two went back to their playing without further incident.

I miss this child and his awesomeness.
ReplyDeletewhat a diplomat! :) seriously, most adults can't even be that calm and rational when physically attacked.
ReplyDelete@Chocolate Puma - He misses you! He keeps asking for people to come visit him when his brother comes.
ReplyDelete@Zoe - To be fair, I'm pretty sure he wasn't afraid of being assaulted to any greater a degree - they really are like an old married couple that knows each other way too well, and knows how far each of them will and won't go.
