Your brother is upset again.
Someone sighs.
“Why can’t he be more like you?”
“You never give us any trouble.”
They smile when they say it.
Another day, you want something. You think about asking. Someone is already tired. Your brother has been difficult all afternoon.
You decide it can wait.
Later, someone puts an arm around you.
“You’re such an easy kid.”
You smile.
It sounds like a good thing.
