statement . x two

"are you trying to make a statement?"

she asked, as I made my way down the hall

this morning with Bugsy on my arm.

She is sweet, and quick with a compliment.

Almost one a day for me,

and I have become used to responding to her with a smily "thank you"-

and then stopping for a chitty chat.

We still chitty chat, she and I, just like we used to do

when she had Bugsy in her kindergarten room.

Her room full of chickadees,... she is a sweet lady.

But this morning, more than a smily thank you was in order.

"Are you trying to make a statement" she had asked.

Huh.

A statement.

Huh.

I had to think about it.

Hmmm.

But only for a minute.

"YES"

"yes, I am. "

"I am trying to make a statement".

Isn't it obvious???

My sister loves me.
