Author's Note: She popped up as a huge challenge, this four-year-old. Yeah, even four-year-old girls can teach us lessons. In my mind she stands as a testament to family love. I was automatically an enemy cause I'm that other girl her brother loves. And that just wouldn't work for her. She made it clear right away ("dis is my Ewic") where the lines were. Girls tend to do that... four-years-old and older.
