Stone Soup by Jan Eliot Alix: If I ruled the world there'd be no MEAN KIDS at school. Holly: Is something BOTHERING you?? Holly: 'Cause...if someone IS bothering you...just remind them who your OLDER SISTER is. Alix: Holly The Horrible? Holly: Hey, I can channel my cranky for GOOD. Holly: Remember that bully, LEROY? HE was picking on you...but now he talks in a squeaky voice and hides in the boys' locker room. Leroy: EEP Alix: Wait. YOU did that?! Holly: He caught me on a PARTICULARLY bad day, of which there are many. Alix: Wow. Will I ever have your power?! Holly: Probably. Hormones run WILD in our family.
I have no kids, but I have inherited “THE LOOK” from my mother’s superpower gene pool. Was able to stop two toddlers from racing around the restaurant AND their mother from making a snarky comment about correcting her children, all without a word. (Got a nice thank you and a free soda from the waitress, too!)
