Last night we learned a valuable lesson.
Evangeline is a female! What a shocker for us to discover this fact!
I know, I know, what you are thinking....how the heck did you not know this?
Story time! Its funny but at the same time not so funny.
Last night Trinity was laying next to me on the couch as we watched America's Funniest Videos. Piper and Evangeline were in the playroom located just off the living room. All was good and most of all peaceful. :)
That peace was not to last. I heard some noise and then Piper laughed. Well, I thought to myself, at least they are getting along and having some fun.
That was not to last.
A few seconds later I heard a strange cry from Piper. I looked to Adam who was sitting in the chair...he was rolling his eyes, getting ready I could see to yell to Piper to quit her whining. I in turn heard the beginning thread of a cry that you don't hear often from Pi. It was her cry of pain. And I said to him that it was a real cry of pain, she's hurt not whining. Adam went in to investigate.
Results of the investigation were interesting and shocking but then when you think about Evangeline's past maybe not so much.
Evangeline decided to throw a teacup at Piper. Not a plastic princess teacup. Nooooo, she grabbed one of the ceramic teacups from their paint your own tea set. According to Piper, she doesn't know why, Evangeline picked up the teacup and threw it at her. It missed. So Evangeline determined to hit her sister with this cup, got up walked over picked the cup up and then threw it at Piper again....this time with improved aim, and now I am assuming even more pissed off because she missed the first time and was laughed at, hit her target with precise aim. She struck Piper in the head, almost directly between the eyes.
Temper temper little miss. It is not the first time she has gotten violent with a cup against Piper. They had hid a glass on the window sill, I say hid, they claim they set it there and had forgotten it. At any rate they were playing behind the curtain, Piper made Evangeline mad. All I heard was a pop. That sound that glass makes when it hits the floor and then Piper screaming bloody murder. Evangeline had taken the glass and because she was mad at Pi and hit her in the head with it. She used enough force that the glass had shattered. I should point out that She used the bottom of the glass to hit.
Should I hide all the cups in my house? Come on every parent has that one toy that they worry about becoming a weapon....it's usually the die cast car, or the plastic mallet that you worry about not the little girl's teacup.
Poor Piper, she's the baloney in my sandwich and something always happens to her when one of the pieces of bread decide to go bad. She sat on the couch with me, with a bag of broccoli on her head, exclaiming "she almost hit me right in my eye." Piper claims that she didn't do anything to make Evangeline mad. But she is carrying proof of her sister's rage, right on her forehead, above her left eye.
So there it is....a woman at any age has those moments of destructive power. It tossed me off for a bit to say the least. Evangeline was punished, she went up stairs to bed, she was made to apologize to Piper, which even at a young age she has a difficult time doing.
The most beautiful thing about my girls....this morning Evangeline and Piper were in their room playing together in Piper's bed, laughing and having fun. There is forgive and forget and the need to just love your family no matter what they had just done to you 12 hours before.
