The Little Brute

When we took our children to the park, the only thing our youngest, at 21 months, could do was climb about a foot up one of the giant tube slides.  At one point while she was doing this, a boy around five-years-old, was coming down the slide, causing a slight jumble. My husband said, “Hey, no pushing.” So the boy’s father, sitting nearby said, “Be nice to the little girl.” To which my husband had to somewhat shamefully reply, “Actually, it was my daughter who was doing the pushing.”
