Honesty

This little conversation took place between our middle Granddaughter, Riley (5) and her little sister Morgan (2 1/2)

Riley: Morgan?
Mo: Yes Wiley?
Riley: I love you!
Mo: Thanks.
Silence. Nothing. More Silence.
Riley: Morgan?
Mo: Yes Wiley?
Riley: Don't you want to say it back?
Mo: No.
Silence. Nothing. More Silence.
Riley: Mo?
Mo: Yes Wiley?
Riley: Why don't you want to say it back?
Mo: Just don't.
Silence. Nothing. More Silence.
Mo: Riwey?
Riley: (sullenly) yeeees Morgaaan?
Mo: I love you back Riwey.
Riley: (in a happy little voice) I'm glad! That's why we are sisters.

Not sure why but this little conversation really moved me.
