Join 'Em and Lick 'Em

Filled with lightning, night is the time for thunder. Marvel not how deafening peals can kindle bigger brother's' mocking the bogeyman’s sounds, "You better watch out!" Screaming youngsters flee to their parents' bedroom giving witty parents a chance to join in shouting loud above all the racket, "Ice cream! Who wants some ice cream?"

Thanks, robin. I deal with the big bro syndrome as I watch my two grandsons interact (ages 15 and 7). As the youngest said last week - I wish he was afraid of me.
