A rainy Saturday afternoon at the 7MSN. Can't remember the last time that happened. Neither could Alan.
He hates standing around in the barn as much as he hates standing outside getting wet, so he got kind of grumpy. And territorial.
Alan: I am not sharing this stall with you, Lucy. Go away.
Lucy: What. Ever.
Lucy: What in the heck is his problem? This barn is big enough for all of us.
Alan: I was here first.
Alan: Butt out.
Alan: Mom, she's ignoring me!
Me: If you want her to leave, perhaps you should ask her politely.
Girls are sensitive, you know. You may have hurt her feelings.
Me: I'll hurt something more than that if she keeps crowding me.
Me: Alan, she's not going to budge and you know it.
Her stink-eye is way more effective than your back feet off the ground.
Alan: Why doesn't anybody ever take me seriously?
Me: Maybe because you're so cute when your nostrils flare?
In the end, Alan and Lucy called a truce and waited out the rain.
Boy, Alan sure can have an attitude! Who'd a thought .....
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, more rain! I look forward to see the local vegetation come to life in your pictures!
ReplyDeleteKids will be kids and boys will be boys. For heaven sakes, Alan... just suck it up and deal! LOL
ReplyDeleteAren't they cute? Our mountains got rain yesterday and thunderstorms are forecast for the entire area, including the burned areas of Anza-Borrego, for today. That could be bad...flooding...
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for the kids getting a case of the grouchies, but very HAPPY you are getting rain eh!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm; Lucy looks pretty smug in the last photo!
ReplyDeletePoor Alan, has to share his room with a girl!
ReplyDeleteI have somehow managed to just now see Lucy's brand. Is it an anchor or a rocking cross? Do you know anything about it?
I notice Alan wasn't grumpy or brave enough to actually connect with those back feet. Can't fool Miss Lucy; she can spot a bluff.
ReplyDeleteThis sibling rivalry is exactly why we are moving GK into a her room and leaving the boy Ry alone to play and mess and have his space. We get the kicking and stink eye and being "muley". Casa de Cuckoo
ReplyDeleteBut I must admit...poor Alan, he had his Momma first and it's hard to be a grown up donk and suck it up when he wants to be the baby. We have that too.....grands vs animals....yep I get it.
We haven't gotten rain.....I'm glad you have yay.
Love the B&W's, they really high light Lucy's spots nicely.
ReplyDeleteGreat set of photos.
ReplyDeleteYay for rain! We had some last night. Our boys were in the barn too...and none too happy about it either. :) Alan might as well learn to suck it up...Lucy isn't going to let that little boy get the best of her.
ReplyDeleteI swear, those guys are so expressive. they let you know exactly what kind of a mood they are in. I feel for ya' Alan, I have space issues too. I don't kick though...
ReplyDeleteAlan does a fantastic stink eye. Wow. Don't ever let Alan and Mercy have a staredown. That one picture made me laugh, he's so mad and you're telling him he's cute, lol.
ReplyDeletewhat is the brand on Lucys shoulder?
ReplyDeleteRainy days spent inside. I remember those as a kid. BORing! *smile*
ReplyDeleteI swear, no one listens to me either, Alan. Lo siento.
ReplyDeleteYay rain!
