Wrathful-Siren Atsali - face markings, forked tongue, and a painful truth! Castela doesn't yet seem to understand the importance of personal boundaries, even after the last couple of "stay out of my personal space" yellings.
This is definitely going to take some working-through. A message of "I love you, but I don't love what you've been doing" might get through... but for a kid with the sort of abandonment issues Pickle as grown up with, any sort of rejection by Big Sister is gonna hurt.

Uh, oops.
I suspect we are about to get that full discussion about why Castela really was abandoned by her "parents".

Oh poor little Pickle. This is gonna take more than cookies to fix this. I just hope Castella doesn't run away from home. Poor kid - BOTH of 'em.

Yeah that is going to really hurt Castela. but Atsali did have a point about personal space. Crawling inside someone's shirt against a specific request not to is a violation or personal space...

"Door is shut" indeed.

Re: Door Is Shut 2014-11-03
I suspect this is the time for Kathryn to step in, tell Atsali to wait in her room, and go council Castela herself. Getting Castela to understand that her actions have consequences and that Atsali’s reaction is an example of what happens when you push people too hard, will be difficult but critical to her development.
Real success will be getting Castela to apologize, followed by an apology and hug from Atsali.

"Booby cave"? One wonders how much can really fit down there. Is this just comic exaggeration, or does she have, um, hidden depths, like the golem girls?
Re: Door Is Shut 2014-11-03
Does this mean Atsali Was hiding cookies?
Maybe they were cookies she purchased for herself as opposed
to family groceries cookies mom purchased?
I was kind of hoping they were magically conjured cookies.

Re: Door Is Shut 2014-11-03
You may ask them, I would not suggest it myself since the ones i know tend to also have weapons in places like that with a habit of using them to defend personal space. This would seem to be the first time the sisters have had a fight. It could not have come over a worse subject either.

I doubt anybody told Kath there would be days like this.
Also available in sterling silver.

It wasn't the word said as much as the way Pickle took them. Pickle completely ignored the word sometimes and decided Sali meant always. From there it was a short step to she doesn't want me here at all. A 5 year old will make this mistake very easily and Sali should not be blamed for not thinking about word choice and in tone of voice. Sali is not that old either.JSStryker wrote:Oh dear, words said in anger can never be taken back!
Pickle needs to learn that being part of a family means there are boundaries and she should stop crossing them thoughtlessly. Trying to justify her actions based on we are supposed to share is 5 year old logic. Sis has cookies. We are supposed to share. She didn't. I can do anything to get my share. Kathy has some explaining to do to pickle.
It also is possible Pickle is using emotional extortion on Sali. They are very good at that without intent. 5 year olds are very self centered. lol.
Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.

WELL, It's About Freaking TIME!!!
Sorry, folks ... but a past nerve was hit.
They are both still young, verbal yelling is going to happen and stuff not meant to be said will be said.
Anyone who does not agree or understand - good chance they were born an only child.

Re: Door Is Shut 2014-11-03
Right about now Kath is probably thinking she should have stepped in much much sooner. She can still stop Castela in her tracks with her mom command voice (I hope). Castela needs to face up to the fact that there are personal boundaries and that her entire existence isn't to make life hard on everyone around her. Like Callista, Castela appears to be royalty of a sort and probably wasn't used to being told "no". Going from being doted on to being abandoned had to be devastating to the little weed.

Re: Door Is Shut 2014-11-03
The impressive part is that she was able to hide an entire box of cookies in there and she wasn't wearing a bra, which is necessary to give the whole structure stability. So with those non-rigid masses moving freely and no bra to act as a floor or pocket, what was holding the box in there? There is only so much sweat and friction can do.shadowinthelight wrote:Ask any large busted lady just just how many items she can carry in her chesticular area.
