Fili: 5
Kili: 4
"Feeeeeeeeee! Feeeeeeeee!"
I groan. Kili will not shut up until I answer him. I go into our bedroom.
"What is it Kili?" I ask. I see him sitting on the bed with a book in his hand.
"Can you help me read it?" he asks in a small voice.
I make an inward sigh. I didn't feel like it but if I said no Kili would have his feelings hurt and then he will cry and then I will feel bad and spend all afternoon playing with him. Not that I didn't love him but I sometimes just want time to myself. Little kids are so difficult to care for. I was never little. I was always mature
"Alright Kili but just one book." I tell him and I climb into bed next to him.
"The Li-tt-le F-F. How do you say that word?" he asks me.
"Filly."
"That not right. You name is Fili and that not how it spelt." He challenges.
I then have a 20 minute argument with him on how filly and Fili are different yet sound the same.
"Now continue to read Kili." I say and rub my eyes.
"The Litt-le Filly that c-c-could." He stutters.
Kili continued to read the book for an hour even though it was only 10 pages. I had to help him sound out half of it and spend a good deal of time explaining why certain words looked different but sounded the same.
"Time for bed." Mother says as she opens the door.
I nod and go right under the covers exhausted from reading with Kili.
"Good night Kili."
"Night Mama."
"Good Night Fili." She says and kisses me on the cheek. "Thank you for being such a great big brother."
When she turns the light out for a few minutes it is silent.
"Fee will you read with me tomorrow?" he asks.
"Of course I will." I yawn and fall asleep.
