Toad Tactics and Tricycle Trouble

As the oldest sister, I love antagonizing my younger siblings, especially Noah. He has the funniest reactions to things that come out of the blue. Today, our family is getting ready to go to the beach, and Noah was getting ready to ride his tricycle into a tree… again. I decided that the best way to get him corralled inside was to herd him with something he did not like but I love.

Cue the toads, my lovely amphibian friends who sicken the rest of my family.

So I spent the next 15 minutes chasing Noah with a toad, and I was able to herd him, just not towards the house. He eventually told me to “throw it,” and I told him I would throw it on him. In Noah’s never-ending crusade to make a point, he threw a small rock at the woods in frustration.

All siblings love to antagonize, and this family is no different. Noah is my younger brother, and I will treat him like one. Even with Down syndrome and autism, that will never change the fact.
