The banter at the table is one of my favorite times of the whole day. A time with the kids in the same space doing the same thing is simply magical! One of the things that happens is word play. Charlotte and James love to do a one-up-man-ship thing. Charlotte being 7 years older than James, she can usually win in the vocab phase of the game. James almost always wins because he says something so classically James that she ends up laughing and he knows he has got her. Can't really remember exactly what the banter was about tonight, but at one point my husband stated, "Ah, the semi-hostile sibling relationship!" Charlotte retorted, "NAH!" "So a hostile one?" James' turn, "We are not hostile. We are Americans!!"
So blow out the candles and celebrate the birth of our country. Celebrate the amazing relationships that are allowed to freely express their appreciation of each other.
