Hannah Rae













While the girls were in the tub, I heard Abby start crying. "Hannah hit me three times!" she sobbed.

"Hannah, did you hit Abby?"
"Yeah," she said matter-of-factly.
"Don't do it again."
"Okay."
"Say you're sorry."
"Sorry, Abby."
"Would you like it if I hit you?"
"No."
"Don't hit!"

She paused then whispered, "Roar."

Abby's wails changed into a belly laugh instantly. I wanted to join in, but I was trying to make a point! "Hannah," I repeated, "don't hit."

Another sweet whisper, "Roar."

It was all over. I'm not sure who won but I'm pretty sure it wasn't me.
