Our Little Mother Hen

Yesterday, my older brother told me a story that I thought was priceless. I will try to re-tell it best I can.
A couple of days ago, Jer asked Bekah, the 9 year old niece, to go outside and get Sarah, the 2 1/2 year old. After several minutes, Bekah came back inside frustrated and saying that she couldn't get Sarah to come in.
Upon hearing this, the 5 1/2 year old, Hannah, piped up. She said, "I'll go get her!" Within moments, Sarah came bursting through the door with a very satisfied looking Hannah behind her. Hannah's tactics became clear when Sarah said, "Where is the monster, Hannah? Is he going to get me?" She's a natural mother, isn't she?
Later in the day, Jer asked Hannah about her techniques, and she replied, "That's just how I do it."
Well, there you go.
