Sister Superpowers

I bring the groceries in from the car to the bottom of the stairs and the girls take them to the kitchen. Anything too heavy for them, I bring up on my last trip. It is a good system. 

Today, I was imagining carrying the heavy 25 pound bag of rice myself. 

Instead I hear a voice reminiscent of childhood superhero cartoons, "This is heavy. I think this needs to be...a sister-thing!"

With their strengths combined

Conversations Overhead: Moving

Maggie: *sigh* I want to move.

Kaleia: Why? I like this house.

Maggie: Oh, Kaleia.  Moving is so fun! Everything gets put in boxes. Then, you get to help carry things down to a big truck for Mama and Papa. And when you get to the new house, you get to organize!

Kaleia: (unimpressed) Oh. I still don't want to move.
