Jun spends a lot of time complaining about his sister.  I think he likes the idea of having a sister, but he doesn’t necessarily like the reality of having this little girl in his way all the time.  She plays with his toys, she copies everything he does, and she even expects him to share his parents.  She cries a lot, requires lots of attention, and plays with his toys (did I mention that already?).  Basically, Jun has a very low tolerance for anything Lena does.  If she touches him wrong, he yells at her, if she touches me too much he yells at her, if she swings a toy incorrectly he yells at her, etc…

Last night at dinner we had a moment of panic when, for no apparent reason, Lena suddenly jumped out of her seat, landed on Jun, AND dumped his entire cup of water all over his chest and lap.  Jun suddenly had a reason to yell at his sister, so what happened?

Well, Todd and I burst out in laughter.

Lena panicked, stopped in her tracks, stuck her finger in her mouth and braced herself.

Jun stood up in his chair looked at his wet pants, pointed his finger at his sister, and yelled, “you platypus!” 

Todd and I started laughing even harder, Lena looked even more scared, and Jun… well, he must have realized how strange it was to call someone a platypus, so he laughed too as he told Lena it was ok.  And then the situation was over like it had never even happened.  Jun doesn't seem to know it, but he missed his golden opportunity to yell at his sister without hearing a word from Todd and I.
