@I've always gotten along better with your brother. Dunno why, maybe you and I are too much alike. But you're family, and I love you- in my mind how you get along with your family has nothing to do with how much you love them. So what if I've always gotten along better with your brother. There was this one time time when you were little, you liked to play with my hair. Most little kids pull hair, earrings, necklaces, glasses- but not you. I had really long hair when you were little- like a year old, when I was in high school. I would hold you and you would sepearte my hair, strand by strand, and run your hands down the strand, you would surround yourself in my hair- stare at it with this little kid cross-eyed look that made us giggle. You made my hair really fuzzy, I always had to either brush it or pull it up in a bun when you were done, but it was a price I would pay. For a short time in your life, when you would cry, whoever had you would hand you to me and I'd pull down my hair and you'd stop crying. After a while, you figured out our trick and you'd cry to get what you wanted anyway, but it worked for a short bit. And I loved every minute of it.@
