A Sisterly Conversation

Cast of Characters: Inwe, 4 1/2 years of age; and Larien 2 3/4 years of age.

Setting: the back seats of the van

When: while driving to the gym

Why: my children don't know how to be quiet

Inwe: I couldn't go on the slide today. Miss Cheri said not to go on it because it was broken.

Larien: How was it broken?

Inwe: What?

Larien: How was it broken?

Inwe: It was in little pieces.

Larien: You have to put it back together.

Inwe: No, we can't. Mr. Scott will fix it.

Larien: I would get a new slide and fix it all up!

Inwe: You can't, Larien. You aren't a grown-up.

Larien: I'm growing and getting bigger and taller and stronger.

Inwe: But you aren't a grown-up yet.

Larien: But I will be.
