Primo's VIP Jekyll and Hyde Birthday Outing was such a huge success that Seconda wants one just like it. She had more fun than anyone there, including Primo, because she was getting a chance to hang with the big kids and proving her mettle. I genuinely marvel at how fearless Sec is -- even when one of the seven year-olds had to step outside of the restaurant to "get some air," Sec hung in there, watching the revivification of Frankenstein with interest.
The day after the party, she said, "Can we go to Jekyll and Hyde for MY birthday?"
"Maybe," I replied, "We'll see."
I find it best to be evasive about these sorts of long-way-off decisions. She'll forget about it by February and be on to the next thing whatever the hell that will be.
But Primo piped up, "You can't, Sec, because your friends will be too scared."
"But I won't invite my friends," she clarified, "I'll invite YOUR friends."
Nothing like a kid sister.
