what a nice look at family life although I have to say that Lily is sort of a bitch for calling her brother out. Even if he wasn't really sick, she should have just let him get away with it. That's what siblings do; they stick together. Those two are probably a little young to know it, I guess. They'll figure it out.

May I have the golden egg, please?

Thanks for reading. Lily and Alex don't get along too well when they're younger but get better when they get older :)

oh man, I totally remember this from being a kid: about the injustices of Alex getting sick and not her. XD I get Lily calling Alex out, seems like a sibling thing. also, Russ sounds like a good dad.

If no one beats me to it, the teal and blue egg, please?

Thanks. Totally a sibling thing :) I always hated it when my sister got sick and I didn't.

Chicken noodle soup is fantastic when I'm feeling sick! Also, as one of five siblings, I love the dynamics between Alex and Lily. Many wars were waged when someone got a day off school. XD Nice one!

Thanks! Yep my sister and I did not like it when the other got a day off either :)

Ha ha, nice try Lily. Still, cheer up. It might be catching!

[bella_feather]

She'll spend her day trying to figure out how to catch it from Alex :)
