Bitter Sweet

I thought it was so sweet when Kaeley came out in the living room yesterday to turn on her music and dance. She flung her pink boa all over the place and it seemed to snow with loose feathers. Here comes Nathan with the purple and green boa tied around his neck. It looked uncomfortable to me, but he was happy. He had a runny nose and is always drooling, so he had a couple of feathers stuck to his mouth. I thought, "Oh, how sweet. She dressed him up to dance with her." I do think they danced on the "stage" (living room rug) for a few minutes. However, later I heard Kaeley squeaking, "Are you ready to go on a walk, huh? Huh? You want to go on a walk?" Poor little boy had been turned into a dog again. It's one thing to consent to pretend play where you're the slobbering four legged creature, but it's another thing being tied against your will to the bed post, because your older sister is desperate for a pet to love.
