The terrible thing is, Sydney’s anger is cute

Isn’t that usually the case though? ;)

Last time my neice was here she was in a phase where she didn’t like having her hair brushed. When her mom would ask her why she’d always say “It makes me sad,” and nothing else. She didn’t seem to be able to articulate why it made her sad - and she always said “no” if we asked her if it hurt. Whenever she would tell us that it made her sad, her face would screw up in the most adorable manner and she’d even get a little weepy eyed sometimes. My mom, my sister, and I kept cracking up whenever she did it.

(The terrible thing is, Sydney’s anger is cute - she crosses her little arms and scowls and the adults in the room go “aawwwww!, Just ‘ook at the widdle scowl!” which is, to put it mildly, not the reaction Sydney is hoping for.)

Well, if she continues to have ambitions of being a pirate, that reaction could help her career. “Awww…look at the cute ‘iddle sword she’s running me through with…”
