Sophia: Hey!
Boy: Nobody cares if I cut in line!
Sophia: I care.
Boy: Nobody cares if I cut in line!
Sophia glared at the back of his head in disbelief, then casually cut in front of him just when her turn came up.
Boy: Hey! I was standing here!
Sophia: (smugly just before she zipped away) Nobody cares if I cut in line.
Boy: Noooooooo!...
I couldn't help laughing aloud at the boy's expense. That's my super girl!
However, he got his revenge soon after by hogging the ride all to himself, which forced the little kids in line to go play elsewhere.
Sophia looked at me as if I should do something about that. But I shrugged it off. I liked that she could experience the exhilarating joy of vigilante justice followed by the annoyance of effective rebel retaliation. It is frustrating, very frustrating, when others can flout rules without apparent consequences.
She got it. She knew. He was just a silly little boy who was doomed to play alone on a zip line while she could happily play elsewhere with her family.
So she did.
