That is my response when someone takes away my toys as well, hence my shape!
That is a pretty amazing response. I gave away a child's stuffed animal (ten years after they were through playing with it) and the response was MUCH more severe than Jess's.
Happy girl! Moving on . Doing big girl things. Nice work, Lori. Time to celebrate with some crackers!
