older and wiser

I was downstairs cleaning the kitchen and the girls were upstairs, confined behind the gate. Caroline was sitting at the desk, listening to the ipod with the speaker attached. Sylvie (18 months old) approached and apparently wanted to grab the ipod and/or the speaker. I heard the loud fussin' and growling that Sylvie tends to perform when she wants something but can't reach it or can't have it. After about 30 seconds of that, I heard a totally exasperated Caroline shout, "SYLVIE! RELAX YOURSELF! IT'S JUST MUSIC, CHILD!"
