Dear, bickering children. How’s this one going to play out?

March 15, 2012 by Adrienne

In the middle of putting another coat of polyurethane on our new stools, the kitchen table is covered with newspapers as a work area and out of use for eating at the moment. When Sterling and Ruby asked where they could eat lunch, I suggested one of them take the high chair. Sterling said he wanted to, and Ruby decided to one up him and ran to get to the chair first.

They make their own lunch. She hadn’t made hers yet.

A good three or four minutes into her little chair stealing session, she realized she doesn’t have any food. She’s still sitting there though, fearful of losing her place.

Sterling was moping until he realized Ruby’s predicament. Now everyone’s laughing at Ruby’s pleas for someone to make her lunch for her. This ought to be interesting.

    Just for the record, Ruby sat and hollered and Sterling almost brought her lunch before she finally – half an hour later – gave up and got down. By then Sterling was done with his lunch and Ruby took hers outside with a sheepish look on her face.
