that's hospitality

Sylvie likes to play a game where she opens and closes a door 5000000 times in a row and uses greetings and salutations in the process. Caroline was playing in her room and did not want to be disturbed, so she shut the door and blocked it so Sylvie could not get in.

I asked her to remove the chair from behind it and oblige her sister for a few minutes.

She protested.

I insisted.

Sylvie stood squawking, "HELLOOOO, COME IN!" between fits of rage.

I heard the doorknob rattle.

The door swung open.

There was Caroline, sighing and looking forlorn. She stepped aside to give Sylvie access.

In a dry, monotone voice, she said, "Welcome to a whole new world, baby sister. Reel in the destruction, if you would be so kind."
