Snippets: Princess of the Hill

The boys introduced Girl 2 to king of the hill over the weekend. The couch was the hill. A large stack of pillows and towels and blankets made for a soft landing.
Yesterday, Boy 4 and Girl 2 wanted to play it again, but we were trying to get the house in order and wouldn’t let them make a mess with the blankets and pillows. They decided to play it anyway. You see where this is going.
Not long into the game, Girl 2 was thrown off the couch. She landed on her feet but couldn’t hold it and fell hard on her bum. Hysteria ensued.
She came to me for sympathy. I rubbed her owie and kissed her and told her I was sorry she was hurt. She got irritated and squirmed off my lap. She went into the living room, still howling at the injustice of it all, and said, “I want to play king of the hill!”
