Baby Sister and I had an argument. As a peace offering, I brought her a chocolate cake doughnut from my work meeting.
Now, this work meeting was fairly early in the morning, which meant that when I returned home Baby Sister was awake but still lying in the bunk bed she shares with Little Sister. Little Sister was seated on a chair in the corner, quite near Baby Sister but unable to see her because of the placement of their bookshelf.
I hadn't brought a doughnut for Little Sister, but I figured that as long as she didn't see me giving the doughnut to Baby Sister, she'd never know the difference.
AWKWARD MORMON GIRL: (discreetly slips the doughnut to Baby Sister) Here.
BABY SISTER: Uh... thanks?
LITTLE SISTER: What? What is it?
AWKWARD MORMON GIRL: (trying to use her eyes to convey the secrecy of the doughnut transfer) Nothing.
BABY SISTER: Thanks.
LITTLE SISTER: For what?
BABY SISTER: (not understanding the conveyance of the eyes) She gave me-
AWKWARD MORMON GIRL: -a mysterious golden orb.
LITTLE SISTER: ...a mysterious golden orb?
BABY SISTER: ...this doughnut is a mysterious gold orb?
LITTLE SISTER: You brought her a doughnut?!
AWKWARD MORMON GIRL: Baby Sister. She wasn't supposed to know.
BABY SISTER: Ohhhhh. Sorry.
LITTLE SISTER: Why didn't you bring me a doughnut too?
AWKWARD MORMON GIRL: (to self) I give up. (heads for hallway)
LITTLE SISTER: (from bedroom) I TRUSTED YOU!
