Equality for all
I find Allison's need for equality and structure so funny (and foreign). Here are two examples:
Allison is the first one to clasp her hands togther for prayers at dinner. She's very particular about everyone participating and will glare down and wait for anyone slacking off. Well the first time we did dinner prayers with Quinn's cast on she wouldn't start and kept glaring over at Quinn... she was upset that he didn't have his hands together properly - something he couldn't really do with the cast and sling on...
Today Quinn wanted to clean the walls for fun. So I found a sponge, wet it down with water and sent him on his way. Well a nano second later, Allison is at my leg holding out her hand for her sponge... no biggie, I find another and hand it over. Well she just leaves the sponge in her outstretched hand and starts doing her eh, eh, eh noise, then points to the sink. Realizing my mistake, I wet her sponge and handed back over. She eagerly accepted and ran along to join up with her brother. Just one example of how she looks for equality in the smallest of details.
