what will sisters more happily share?
Mar. 15th, 2005 09:28 pmA couple days ago we were at a sushi bar and I was sitting next to a girl who was about 7, who was sitting next to her mother, who was sitting next to her father, who was sitting next to her slightly older sister.
The parents were eating sushi, the girls had kids bento combination plates with rice, tempura, salad, noodles, chicken teriyaki. After the girl next to me finished, she still had a lot of her chicken left which was sitting on her noodles, which was sitting on her salad.
At first her attention was on the boats, she wanted the chocolate-covered cream puff ones. Her mother wasn't consenting. Her sister came over and said she wanted them. At which point she was instructed to ask the father. She came back, said it was okay, and picked one up. There were 3 balls, the center one slightly bigger and bearing an umbrella. The younger one said that the umbrella should go to their Mom, but big sis picked it up and licked it and told the younger one to pick one of the other ones. The mother finally picked one up and the older one took off saying both the others were hers. Mom called her back and made her give the sister one. The one Mom took was for herself.
So after this the little sister gets bored enough to start looking more closely at her leftovers.
"I'm glad I didn't eat them!" she said. Showing her mother a very tiny bug walking around on her noodles. One about the size of a pepper speck.
First Mom says "Well you weren't going to eat the noodles anyway," but eventually she starts saying how she wouldn't have even known if she did eat it, because it was so small. The girl is skeptical that even a tiny speck like that would have been unnoticed. They pass her plate down so Dad can look at it. He thinks it probably came from the salad. I think he's right, that that's where I've seen this type before.
Girl starts studying her noodles *very* closely. "It's got babies!" she exclaims showing her mother another even smaller moving speck.
Sister comes down to see and sounds downright jealous that she didn't have any bugs in her food.
After the sister goes back to her place, the girl next to me manages to get the bug onto one of her chopsticks which is passed down to the sister, who then puts it in her leftovers to play with.
I'm really relieved that the parents had such good calm attitudes about it.
