Cate was on the playground at preschool and a little boy slapped her in the face. (Just four year olds being four years olds. The teacher took care of it and all is well. Except, the little boy {who is a really great kid with an awesome family} happens to live across the street.)
Cate mentioned it to me in passing when she got out of school but waited to be dramatic about it until she had a much more attentive audience :)
The scene: Carter, Bennett, and Brady are sitting on the couch watching Survivor. Cate walks into the room and stands right in front of the tv. All eyes focus on her.
Cate: Today at school, I was at the top of the jungle gym and a boy slapped me right across the face. And that boy lives right across the street (making pointed finger gestures towards his house)
Bennett: *sigh* "You cry?"
Carter: "But you're tough, did you hit him back??? You definitely should have hit him back but only harder"
Brady: "WHAT??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ARE YOU OK? I'M GOING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW. I JUST NEED TO TALK TO HIM. I'M NOT GOING TO YELL, BUT I NEED TO TELL HIM THAT HE CAN'T BE DOING THAT. WHERE ARE MY SHOES? I'M GOING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW. NO, YOU CALM DOWN, I'M GOING OVER THERE!!!! "
Oh. Dear. Lord. Cate should come with a warning label...
I've got three big brothers and I know how to use them.
