Small acts of civil disobedience

There is an alliance forming in the house. Two small children have been periodically uniting to resist the rulers.

Example: Willa doesn't get dessert due to being squirrely at dinner. Jia later shares some of her own dessert with her.

Example: Jia is lamenting because she is in time out for doing something to Willa. Willa brings Jia some toys while she is in time out.

Example: Willa is being disciplined for whatever. Jia comes up to me and says, "I think you're being unfair to Willa because..." and pleads her case.

I fear a coup d'état!

Honestly though, good for them, everyone could use a sister who has their back.
