Dual Purpose

Krista's method to make Gabriel laugh has a great dual purpose - to release latent hostility. She runs directly at him and pushes him over (on my lap). Krista, with her teeth grit together, releases a "huh huh huh" laugh as she runs at him and knocks him over. All the while, Gabriel has his huge, open mouth grin on and is laughing hysterically. He is none the wiser to her devilish intent.
