Big Sis, Little Sis

Setting: Bedtime tonight.
Players: Eleanor, Mary Larkin, Frustrated and exhausted Mommy

Mary Larkin: (crying) Mommy, please open the door.
Eleanor: Sis, come over to my bed and I'll give you a kiss.
Mary Larkin: Ok.
Eleanor: Want to sleep in my bed?  I'll read you a little story.

Mommy smiles.  Not as frustrated anymore.  Ok, a little, but not as much.
