When Henry is feeling Older Brotherly, he refers to his sister as 'Sweetie.' All other times, she is a shrill, multi-syllabled 'Jaayaayne!' Here is a pre-breakfast conversation from this morning.
Jane: Koo-key.
Henry: No, Sweetie. We don't eat cookies for breakfast.
Jane: (tilting her head to one side) Why?
Henry: Because it's not a good way to start your day.
Jane: (tilting the other way) Why?
Henry: Because it's not noo-tri-shuss.
Jane: Why?
Henry: Because cookies don't have things that are good for our bodies.
Jane: Oh.
Slight pause.
Jane: Koo-key.

priceless! See, there can be parental joy at 6.20 a.m. & before coffee.
haha! that's cute!
That boy needs some serious re-education :-). That's great! I would have never pegged Henri as a nutritionist.
He's not, actually. It was more about justice than nutition. Just a few days earlier we had a loud discussion about why he couldn't have a handful of chocolate chips before breakfast.
