Mac had a birthday today. Cinco did not handle it well.
We have a newish neighbor who replaced our dear
Ms.Gail. The new lady seems friendly
enough. I don’t know her past friendly greetings and mutual yard compliments. I
figure Christmas cookies will be appreciated. I might even ask her “what the
heck lady?” As our very polite neighbor has a large doll collection. And by
large I mean both extensive and tall. They are positioned such that a large
assortment of them stares through her living room window and into ours. It’s disconcerting.
We are Pixar fans. And so the kids all saw the newest
feature “Inside Out.” It made an impression on Cinco. She enjoys reenacting
scenes from the movie and insists her siblings partake. It starts with her
declaring Baba to be “Joy.” X-Man she decrees to be “Anger.” This results in
X-Man bellowing “I’m not Anger! I’m Gigust!” His Disgust needs a bit more work,
although he has perfected his scoff recently. Cinco continues divining up the
rolls ending with her own character “I’m Sadness” complete with a face plant on
the floor.
It’s not that Cinco is sad, well other than the fact we
wouldn’t let her blow out Mac’s birthday candles. It’s just that Joy spent a
large part of the movie dragging Sadness around by the leg. This is fine by
Cinco. If one is slow on the uptake she’ll move closer with her face plant and
even wave her leg about to get attention.
In the end, it tends to be X-Man dragging her around the
house, with a disgusted look on his face. So I suppose she’s on to something.
