big sister, age 5 sharing with little brother, age 2 :: Mama listening in ::
brother: 'I like Mary!' {Mama is unsure as to how this thought came about}
sister: 'Do you even know who Mary is?? There are two Marys and it's important to know who they are!!' {again, Mama is unsure as to why the need to speak so emphatically}
'Two Marys?" {holding up two fingers}
'Yes. One is Jesus' mother Mary and the other is from Mary & Martha. That's what I mean by two Marys'.
{pause, pause....more pause from little brother}
then....
'I like MARTHA!!'
Disappointed look and shaking of the head from big sister, who also exhales loudly.
Conversation over.
