Little Sister: Mom, it’s not fair! You spend too much time with little brother. You’re always helping him, playing with him, and you never have enough time for me!
Mom: Oh, sweetie, I didn’t mean to make you feel that way. I love both you and your brother so much! You’re both very important to me.
Little Sister: But it’s not the same! You’re always kissing him and hugging him. I want some of that too!
Mom: I see. You want more attention from me, don’t you?
Little Sister: Yes! It’s not fair, Mom!
Mom: I’m really sorry you feel that way. I promise I’ll try to spend more time with you, too. I love giving both of you kisses and hugs, but I’ll make sure I share my time better. Is that okay?
Little Sister: Well… there’s one more thing!
Mom: Oh? What’s that?
Little Sister: Mom, you kiss him too much! I counted, you kissed him five times today, but you only kissed me one time in the morning and once before bed. Can you give me more kisses too? Please?
Mom: Oh, my little love, of course! I’m sorry for not giving you more kisses. I’ll make sure to kiss you more, just like I do with your brother. You are both my precious children. How about a special hug and a kiss right now?
Little Sister: Yes, please! Thank you, Mom!
Mom: You’re welcome, my darling. I love you so much!
