Mark took Liesl to the grocery store and came home with a balloon. This incited a great deal of animosity and jealousy in Algy who, waking from his nap, found that his sister got both a trip out and a balloon. I took Liesl aside and asked her if she wanted to give her balloon to Algy (thinking I could somehow teach a 4 year old to be selfless). After a lot of convincing, she reluctantly handed over the balloon to her brother, tearfully proclaiming "I'm going to miss you balloon." Her generous moment quickly fled and they were back to fighting over the balloon. After about 30 min, my mom popped the balloon, sending everyone into hysterics.
We were in the Joann fabric store and were trying to pass through a very tight aisle. Some women had collected at the end of the aisle and we waited to pass through. Liesl yells ahead to the ladies "Hey! We're getting all bunched up over here." To which the women laughed and moved aside.
Algy likes to pretend he is a dump truck and is constantly scooping at my, and my mom's feet when we are sitting down. This results in him shouting at us "You're dirt!" It took me a while to figure that one out, and not take it as a personal attack.
