In Good Company

We've had a foster child, Shannon (11), recently move in up the street. (She of the "Holy Craft" expression.) Anyway, Chandler (6) and Gabrielle (4) have been more than a little bothered by Shannon's bossiness.

Tonight Gabrielle just told me out of the blue, "I don't have to mind anything Shannon says. I only have to mind you and Mommy and God. I'm only listening to you three. And I'll listen to Grandma when she comes over to visit."
