My kids have become quite good at teasing. I love it, well, unless one kid ends up whinning or crying because of it. But it has been so much fun watching their little personalities take on this new trait. Emma teases mommy and daddy, Brennon teases Emma, and Addy teases them both. Emma likes to hide things and pretend she doesn't know where they are. Or like the other day while I was waiting in the car here she comes from inside the gas station hands on the side of her face wiggling her fingers and sticking her tongue out at me. She thought this was really hilarious, and it was fun to do it right back to her. Today she has brought home some school artwork and one is of a "scary" spider that she plans on scaring daddy with when he gets home this afternoon.
Brennon's teasing is sometimes not so fun for his poor sister. He'll swipe a princess doll or some other near and dear toy and claim that it is his. All the while running from her while she starts screaming and crying that its not his and he is laughing because to him, its a game. His new thing lately is to claim that the cat is his. This really irritates Emma-Jean and she'll state matter of factly in her huffy drama voice "NO, its MINE I got it for my BIRTHDAY!"
Addy's teasing is a little more subtle yet, its definitly there. Of course Addy's teasing method mimicks that of her brothers which involves taking a toy and running away. Often times this toy belongs to brennon, I don't feel to bad for the boy since well, that is something he has tought her.
