Lola Learns to Delegate

Last night, Lola fell off our porch stairs. There are only three of them, total, but she somersaulted down them, so her overprotective parents were very worried. This morning she has no marks (immediately after her fall, she had a welt on her cheek). Last night, I was so relieved after she recovered from the fright (about an hour into the massive pampering we gave her), that I said, "Lola, come give me a great big hug." Lola, sensing she had the upper hand, replied. "No! Abdiel (to our dog), go give Mommy a great big hug." Considering the circumstances, I was glad to laugh at Lola's high-handedness.--K
