The Protector

“I tripped on a curb at recess and scraped both my knees.”

This is a regular occurrence for him. It is not a surprise.

His twin sister responded, “Awwww buddy, I am sorry I wasn’t there for you.”

“What do you mean?”

(She is four inches shorter and ten pounds lighter.)

“I am your big sister, it’s my job to protect you. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you.”

Clearly disgruntled, “You are one minute older than me. I don’t need you to protect me.”

I thought it was adorable. His knees are fine.
