I felt sick in the stomach yesterday..

..when I called out to Olga to come and enjoy a beautiful moment

where Dunia said (in response to my suggestion we go and get prepare her dinner in the kitchen and then return for a picnic on the balcony)

"You go.. and I stay"

..

Olga came to the balcony and then said "Yeah.. so what?"

additionally 2 afternoons back Olga rejected helping Dunia sit on my back on the grass (whilst I was to play the role of horse-y on all fours in the park) .. she said "there are limits" (ie this was one) .. and "you are an adult" .. the expression ludicrous narrow mindedness doesn't quite capture the despair I felt..
