NAME:
Camila was screaming in his crib.
– Can I get her, Mom? asked James.
- No son! You're too small, you can bring it down.
Tiago was upset, after all he was three years old and he thought he knew very well how to take care of things. He walked up and down the room, looking for something to do… and found it! Camila's cart was empty, and it was La who, in an instant, was up.
– No son, no! You are too big, you can break it.
Again interrupted the mother, it would be very funny to ride in a stroller and he just wanted to try it, since nothing was allowed there. Tiago ran out of Camila's room and ended up in the kitchen, he was thirsty. He went to the fridge, opened the door and was getting the fresh water jug...
“Let me get it for you,” Natalia said. – You're too small! You can drop it.
Tiago quenched his thirst, but what he really wanted was to have poured the water himself. It seemed so easy! When he finished drinking his glass of water, he tried to put it on the table, but it slipped out of his hands and there it was, falling on his thumb. James started to cry.
- Now! But what is this? – Dad said. – Such a big boy crying?
James didn't want to cry, but his thumb really hurt and besides he was very upset.
“Too big, too small! too big, too small!” I was all confused.
