Big Brother

Congratulations! You’re going to be a big brother! This is a special day! Your Mommy and Daddy just found out… your baby sister’s on her way. We know whoever she is… whatever name your parents pick she’ll be bringing along with her your fist lessons in arithmetic. With a beautiful face we’re sure you’ll soon come to adore… she’ll teach you simple addition…how 3 + 1 makes 4. She’ll teach you about subtraction… you will make the perfect pair… and you’ll learn how much you miss her… those times when she’s not there. She’ll teach you how to share how to divide things into equal parts. You’ll learn how sharing is a gift that comes from somewhere in your heart. You’ll wonder where all the love you’re feeling for her comes from.. If it was hiding deep inside? And how, once she arrived, the love within your family… so quickly multiplied. All this and more she will teach you.. and one day it’ll be your turn… to teach her these same lessons… when she is old enough to learn.
