Partners In Crime
Dil cooed as Tommy and Chuckie made their toy planes fly around him. It was a fun game, as they made funny noises with their lips and the planes were really colorful. When Tommy got his close Dil grabbed it, wanting to play too.
"No Dil," Tommy said firmly, "this is mine."
"Aaawww," Dil said sadly, letting go. He was trying harder to be a good baby so his brother would play with him more and here he was messing up again!
"Come on, Tommy, use your head!" Angelica called out from where she was coloring. "That dinky brother of your just wants to play with you! Ain't his fault you keep putting that plane near him!"
"Well… I guess you're right," Tommy said before looking at Dil, a grin slowly forming on his face. "I know! Why don't we have it where Dil is, uh, like Monkie Moe and he's tryin' ta get the airplanes!"
"That's a great idea, Tommy!" Chuckie said. "Dil? Do you wanna try and get the planes?"
"Huh?" Dil said, tilting his head as the living room slowly turned into a large city. But… he was so much bigger! He was wearing a onsie that made him look like a monkey and he towered over all the buildings. And there were Tommy and Chuckie flying airplanes!
"Okay Dil!" Tommy called out. "We're gonna fly by… you try and get us! But when you do ya gots ta let us go so we can go again!"
"Tommy! Tommy!" Dil cheered, grabbing onto a building and pulling himself up so he could try and grab the planes.
The only sad part was that a little while later they had to go to the park so that meant they couldn't play anymore. But Tommy promised that if Dil continued to be a good baby and share he would play with him… and Chuckie was willing to as well!
And seeing how he was stuck in his baby seat for much of the picnic Dil saw how boring it was to be by himself and resolved to be better so he could have fun with his brother.
