B has a way of pushing buttons and loved to push
buttons belonging to her sister, L. I
found out after the fact but B used to take L’s favorite stuffed toy dog,
Cupcake, and torture it. I suppose it is
better said B tortured L with what she did to it.
I didn’t know what was happening until I was in
their room one day and saw the ceiling fan spinning wobbly. I asked what happened. L, suddenly working up the tears, told me B
called her to the room. She enters the
room and Cupcake is tied to and hanging from the ceiling fan. Once L saw her beloved toy hanging from the
ceiling fan she got upset. Then B turned
on the ceiling fan. She became frantic
watching her favorite doggie spinning around the room.
Another thing B liked to do was throw stuffed
animals belonging to L and her little brother, W, into the ceiling fan while it
was spinning. She laughed as it would
fly to different parts of the room every time one was thrown into the fan.
One other thing to share is this: B liked to talk to L after they were in bed
and it was time to be quiet. Their
bedroom was on the opposite end of the hallway from ours. Still, we normally heard some sort of
commotion going on in their room. I’d
find myself getting up and walking to their room to tell them to be quiet and
go to sleep. I’d walk into the room and,
from the light from the hallway, I’d see B with a devilish smile on her face as
L tries to snuff out her giggles.
I can’t tell you the number of times I’d return
later only to find B crawling on the floor and looking at me with a shocked
look on her face. Was she really
surprised to see me? At the time it made
me laugh (It still does.) but I had to stifle the humor I saw in the
situation.
When you have four kids, you find yourself
continually challenged and entertained.
Let’s face it, if you have children, you don’t need television. They continually do something to occupy your
time. We are still entertained as we
relive these moments.
