Come Here On the Double
More lipstick! cheered Katie’s brother six-year-old Bard.
Get both cheeks! Get your mouth! How about your nose?
Three-year-old Katie is smearing lipstick on her lips and cheeks
Bard is encouraging her to mess her face all up.
Hoping she would soon lose her "favorite child" place in the family.
Loving what he think is going to get her into a lot of trouble.
“Bard!” His mother yelled. “Come here on the double!”
