...that my (oldest) dd (9yo) dashed off at bedtime for her younger sister. Could there be some issue with her brother that I need to address?

The Story of the Girl Who Likes Books

There once was a Mother and a Father who had 35 children. 35 children! Oh my my my! Well, since they had a HUGE family, they needed a HUGE job. The job was hard, but the whole family was happy. They were all hard working and everything got done fast. Fast enough that they got big breaks! They all had to go play outside for one break at least. But most breaks they could do whatever they want. Some of the breaks are 3 hrs.!

Now it so happened that the smallest child was a girl. Her name was Nicole. Nicole liked to read. Her sisters always make her feel better when her brothers make fun of her. Nicole's brothers make fun of her because she reads a lot. They also made fun of her because Nicole was small.

Nicole's brothers called her Nick and sissy. One day the mother and father said: That is it! Boys, from now on do not make fun of anyone! Or no breaks for you!

And so, the boys never ever made fun of anyone.

And that family lived happily ever after.

The End

That is so cute. And cathartic.

Awww, that's adorable!

It reminds me of that saying "I don't think anyone should have babies after 35. Thirty -five children is enough."
