Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I went over to my younger daughter's house to help with the kids.  The 3 year old told me to take care of the baby.  He wanted his mom all to himself.  I told my daughter now I know why "Lady and the Tramp" was my favorite movie as a kid.  Lady was perfectly happy with her owners/parents when a baby arrived on the scene and spoiled everything.  My brother was born when I was 2 3/4 years old, and I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.  He was a noisy blob, and not a doll. Nobody would let me play with him.  He was no fun, and everyone focused on him, not me.  When we showed this 3 year old the beginning of the movie, he was indignant that the parents neglected Lady.  This is right up his alley.  Luckily, I'm happy to hold baby while his mother pushes his swing, reads to him or plays with him.  I, however, was forbidden to read to him.  Little does he know I understand completely!
