Gate to Paradise

Today was a good day. Sunny and hot, and the girls had a great time playing outside on their tricycles. I opened the back gate to the paradise outside of the house while doing chores. As soon as I turned around, the two had raced forward and came to a sudden halt in front of the open gate. Kayla paused looking curiously outside. She had no plans of proceeding forward. Kari looked out, and looked at Kayla.

"GO ON!" she said, "go right out, Kayla"
"NO no no no.... Don't," said Mommy, blocking the exit to Paradise, "媽米說不可以!(MOMMY SAID NO)"

Pause.

Insisted Kari, "但是妹妹說可以呀!(But KARI SAID YES)"
Go on Kayla...

Kayla remained frozen in space. To go ...or not to go....
Wow, there seem to be two commanders of the house as of now.
