Brothers and Sisters

Posted on September 14, 2009March 3, 2017

David: “I hope Wade gets a sister.”

Daddie: “You want a sister, huh?”

David: “No. I just want Wade to have a sister.”

Me: “Um, David, you do realize that if wade has a sister she’ll be your sister too?”

David: “No! I don’t want a sister.”

Dadie: “Do you want another brother?”

David: “Yes, but no sister.”

Me: “So why do you want Wade to have a sister and not you?”

David: “I just don’t want a sister.”

Me: “What would you do if you had a sister?”

David: “I’d hit her.”

Daddie: “What? That’s not nice. You don’t hit anyone.”

David: “Well, I don’t need a sister. I have a mommie.”

Me: “What? Never mind. If Mommie and Daddie ever have another baby and it is a girl she’ll be your sister too. And you’ll just have to live with it.”

David: “No! She won’t be my sister. Only Wade’s. O.K.? Now just stop saying that!”

And with that I threw my hands up in the air and walked away.

God help her if we ever do have a daughter.

    Oh dear…

    I think he may be surprised and love her to pieces. As her older brother, he can protect her, um, and tease her. Yes, I think he would love her.

    Whatever happened to that kid in the doctor’s office…”don’t worry, I’m gentle” – we thought he was so good with the ladies.

    When/If she ever makes an appearance, I bet he falls in love with her. Eventually.

    My 6-year old and 4-year old hate girls … except Mommy, Auntie, Nana and all the girls they know in school.

    Hmp.

    Oh this is so funny! Kids say the cutest things! I wish I’d had a blog when my kids were little. I would have had so much fun with it, lol!

    They will fall in love with her if you ever have one.
