Emmy is only three, but what a mess she can be. She spilled juice on Dad’s pants but her mom came to her defense. Then when her brother made her trip and fall it was he who was blamed for it all. When she took her sisters glue to build like no one could, it was overlooked.
One afternoon she was feeling up to playing a Pirate Queen. She gathered up everyone’s lost loot and buried them by a tree. When her Dad caught her in the act she was unable to get out of all the condemning facts. As punishment he made her clean, didn’t he know that she was just three?
One Saturday morning she was a wake before any other; she made her own breakfast and left the kitchen in such a mess. When mother woke and seen what she had done she made her clean, she figured she was too sleepy to realize that she was three.
Emmy wanted to play with her brother’s pet lizard. She dressed him up in her dolls clothes, then decided to sail him in a boat, using her sister’s shoes she knew they would make a good vessel. When she turned her back, the lizard decided to flew, she wondered where he could be. With a scream from her mother she knew that he had been discovered. Rushing to her side, she seen everyone’s accusing eyes. It didn’t matter that she was three. For all eyes were focused on she; as punishment for all she did she was banished in her room, she feared she wouldn’t be out any time soon.
