Jacob has a point of view
Friday night, in the car on the way home
Dada: Okay guys, what movie do you want to watch?
Isaac: Jakey, I think we will watch The Incredibles.
Jacob: CARS!
Friday night, at the dinner table. Isaac is reeling from waking up on the wrong side of his nap, screaming so much from a precarious corner of his chair that spit is running out the corner of his mouth. I put sliced-up bagel pizzas before both boys, which Jacob the Gourmand begins to shovel into his mouth with gusto. Isaac's shrieking is renewed at the thought of eating. This is a concept completely lost on Jacob, who stands up in his chair and points his pizza-loaded fork in Isaac's direction as a suggestion. Isaac sees this and increases his wailing in volume. Jacob just doesn't understand -- you can almost see the little mental wheels trying to churn on the idea that somebody might not want to eat pizza. "Maybe Big Brother just doesn't understand what he's supposed to do here?" thinks Jacob. So, to Isaac's renewed horror, Jacob starts jabbing his pizza fork in Isaac's direction, screaming, "Eat it! EAT IT!" loud enough to get his message across.

That's right Jake...get that whispy older brother of yours to eat something! This is awesome, Claire! Hopefully the peer pressure from the younger brother will help you out at dinner time! :)
That's hilarious. Finally I'm commenting!
Hi Kendra!
