The Lindenbergs

Last Father's Day I was dozing on the couch while Pierce and Anna were playing in the other room. Apparently they were playing Legos together when Anna decided she wanted to play with the same parts as Pierce. Pierce delicately tried to point Anna to some different Legos, but Anna wasn't to be re-directed. Having exhausted all diplomatic options, Pierce yelled at her to get away from his toys. It got very quiet for a few moments, then the following conversation ensued:

Anna: "Pierce, you've broken my heart."

Pierce: "Anna, I love you. Our house wouldn't be the same without you. But when you try to play with my stuff I don't like that."

Anna: "You have broken my heart."
