LITTLE SISTER

Aleita just got done doing the ugly cry. She is currently sitting on the landing of the stairs, solemnly looking out the window at the neighbor's house and occasionally letting out a "huh, huh, huh" as a few tears roll down her face. She is staring at four happy kids jumping on the trampoline in the yard and hating every minute of it. One of those happy kids is her sister. Maggie is playing with three of her friends from school and laughing and having a ball. Aleita was not allowed to go with them. She is the saddest girl on earth right now.

Sometimes it just sucks to be the little sister.

Sometimes, having an older sibling just plain sucks, Aleita won't believe it right now, but, not having one sucks even more.

I have been that little sister. I can totally relate to her sorrow. Poor Aleita!
