Authority

Paul has a special gifting with animals, along the line of the Dog Whisperer. He commands natural respect in the animal world, causing dogs of all varieties to recognize him as the dominant character in any scenario. It seems Lillian has been fostering this natural commanding presence in her two year old way. Today, while at the pool with my sisters, a little boy was playing nearby and screaming extra loud. His mother continued to tell him to be quiet, but to no avail. When the little boy decided to swim close to where we were playing, he let out an unnaturally high pitch scream to which Lillian authoritatively replied 'That is ENOUGH!', much in the same way Paul has gotten onto Logan in the past. I don't know if his mother heard her, but we sisters battled to suppress the onslaught of giggles that exploded from Lillian's response to the boy's behavior. She was the only one willing to say what everyone else was thinking!
