The other night we were at a friend’s house relaxing when the back door flew open and Monkey came barreling into the room, his little face bright red and his eyes sparking with anger, tears and that wicked gleam that only appears when tattling on a sibling…
Following coolly and calmly on his heels, is Princess.
5 year old Monkey: “MOM, DAD!!! Princess just slapped me in the face”
Without missing a beat, Princess replies in a voice dripping with that special blend of exasperation and sarcasm that only a big sister can manage
8 year old Princess: “No I didn’t. I was just giving his face a High Five”
I can’t begin to tell you how hard it was for us to keep a straight face. The minute they were back outside, we were howling with laughter and wiping tears from our streaming eyes.
Emily - Best story ever. Oh, how I love kids!
BusyDad - HAHA! That was some quick thinking! She’s going to be a lawyer or a marketer.
Marinka - LOVE it.
Karly - Your kids are awesome.
Nap Warden (Cynthia) - Points for thinking on her feet!
Brandy - I can so picture my daughter saying that! Too funny. I would have had a hard time holding back the laughter. My kids do things all of the time to each other then tattle on each other, the joys of sibling love.
Audra Caldwell - I love the honesty and sarcasm… Kids crack me up. I thank the Lord everday for moments like this one, that keep me laughing! You have an awesome family!
Jennifer, Playgroups are no place for children - HA! She has an awesome sense of humor!
Rachel - Emily, my kids keep us rolling – they are scary brilliant. SCARY.
Rachel - Hush your mouth!!
Her brain works way too fast. Just imagine her and Fury in the same room {shudder}
Rachel - Thanks, Marinka! I loved your Big Game post
Rachel - Why thank you, Ms. Karly
Rachel - She’s rackin’ up way too many points, Cyn

Sara@MommaFindings - Oh.My.Goodness. That’s EXACTLY what my son would have said. LOL
Kristen - Classic – too funny!
moosh in indy. - I love her.
An Island Mom - Love that story! Wow, she could have a great future in politics!
lceel - I know all these other commentors have their opinions, and rightfully so, but I think she’s going to brow up to be a Bouncer.
lceel - Apparently I think she’s going to take a lean toward the Neanderthal – either that or I misspelled ‘grow’.
Rachel - Okay, your first comment made me laugh out loud.. this one, made me snort!
Rachel - Sara, Let’s keep them far away from each other when they get older
Rachel - Kristen, It’s like a laugh gallery around here
She’s full of *starcasm*
Rachel - and she loves you and often mentions her curly haired blonde friend daughter of my friend who she used to video chat on the computer with and when will we do that again, mom? all in one breath.
Rachel - hee hee
oh heaven help us.
Natalie @ Cooking for My Kids - Love it. I was laughing so hard that I had to read this cute post to my husband so that he would not think that I was absolutely crazy.
Rachel - AWW
Thanks 
That makes me so happy (also — cannot tell you how many ‘internet’ things I’ve had to read to my husband so he wouldn’t think I was crazy)
Paula - Not only is Princess adorably cute but she has a wit that is going to carry her far and get her out of a lot of tough spots!
Melinda@LookWhatMomFoundandDadtoo! - what a wise guy LOL love it
I think Sabreena said this same thing to Shaun last week
