In the restaurant Mikey was still arguing with his sisters, particularly Tami. Tami was making faces and using her finger to flick pieces of shredded cheese at her brother, while Mikey kept whining “stop it,” and “cut it out.” Karen was also a little irritable but as of late had begun to take on the role of “Mommy’s Little Helper”, which means that she is still acts up, just never in front of mom, and she reports all of her siblings misbehaviors. And like many “Mommy’s Little Helpers” she is an accomplished instigator, starting a fight and then stepping away to become the victim when Mikey or Tami retaliate. As “Mommy’s Little Helper”, Karen began chiding her brother and sister, telling Tami to “knock it off,” and Mikey to “act your age” which only made matters worse, but which Sandy thought of as help with the younger ones. Mikey then started in on Karen, as no one likes to be told to act their age, especially by a sister only two years older.
