Almost Nice

This morning Thomas and I went on a date. Well, almost. Cora was with us. Little third wheel... As we were sipping tea and coffee, he handed me one of the crackers I'd packed for his snack.

"Here, Mommy, I'm sharing with you. I'm being pretty nice today!"

"You are, Thomas. Thank you!"

"Yep. I'm being pretty nice. I did push Henny, but only a little bit."

"Oh, I see. Just enough to still be brothers?"

"Yep. That's right."

True confessions from an almost-civil little brother.
