My sister is 18 years younger than me. When my mother decided it was time to stop breastfeeding her, she left Ana with me and traveled to the South.
Ana was 2 years old and obviously very attached to our mother... Well, the first two days were awful - she screamed like hell, she even tried to hit me when I told her "Mummy is not here, you will have to sleep without a breast".
In the third day I put her into her bed and stayed there ready for another tantrum. But nope, Ana was calm, mysteriously peaceful. We had a little chat in the dark. And then, it came: "Cláudia, can you see there, up in the ceiling?" No, I couldn't. "There, Cláudia, the clown, he is smiling at you....".
That was her revenge. I freaked out inside. The routine remained unaltered until I urged my mother to come back immediately.
Nowadays Ana is a normal 27-year-old woman. But for a moment I thought we were dealing with either a medium or a schizophrenic. I guess she was just behaving like a very upset child...

ReplyDeleteYes, there he is. Look! He's reaching down to touch you!

Ana sounds like she has quite the imagination!
