"Look how cute you are! Look how cute you are!" her mother spoke as she began to tickle her.
"Mom! Stop! Stop!" Althea laughed.
"How could I when I have the cutest daughter in the world?!" her mother exclaimed as she sped up her tickling.
After a few, the mother stopped as she felt a hand over her shoulder.
"Oh honey," the woman exclaimed as she gazed at her husband. With an awkward cough she got on her feet.
"Dear, we have many children, do you plan to spoil all of them?" he asked with a hint of annoyance.
The woman laughed. "Yes! Yes I do!" she spoke proudly as she puffed up her chest.
With a sigh the man placed a hand over his hand.
"When are you going to stop acting like this is a game, sooner or later our children have to grow up you know?"
Before the woman could retort Althea butted in.
She stood proudly on her toes trying to appear taller as she puffed up her chest and spoke in pride.
"But I am big! I can act like a grown-up!" Althea reassured.
