Daddy brought Little Sister home, came in to change clothes and grab a few things, and then headed out to work at the softball fields. Little Sister, in all of her excitement at being home and seeing her sister and Nana (and mom, I guess), didn't pay attention when he kissed her goodbye.
A few minutes later, she asked Big Sis, "Where Daddy go? To work?" Big Sister answered with a yes.
Then, Little Sis noticed that my dad wasn't here anymore. "Papa go to work too?"
Bis Sister answered in a sing-songy voice, as if she were a teacher or mother. Or at the very least, as if she truly missed her sister all day. "No-oo. Papa went back to Ohio. But Nana is still here. We have so much to talk about! Come On!!"
She put her arm around her little sister (who was jumping with excitement as she said "yes"), and both girls walked off into the living room.
As they were almost out of sight, we heard Big Sister continue, "Just DON'T mess anything up."
And finally a tiny, resigned voice said, "o-kay."
Back to normal... but it was sweet while it lasted!
