I have to chuckle at the thought of a super hero needing to hide on the couch from a toddler. What kind of super hero powers are lacking there?
But I see the need...and remember those days with the girls. Ahhh, siblngs....life's lessons about sharing (later, Brooks), thinking "outside the box", having little guys look up to you, and that sometimes even super heroes need Mom's interventions and creative diversions for the youngest in the family.
That's why God created siblings, I suspect. We're better than we would have been without them. They teach us about negotiation, tolerance, self control...or apologizing...remind us we aren't the center of the universe, and just plain bless us with relationships that will last a life time...good or bad, one way or another!
Some good advice I saw quoted concerning sisters: "Never let an angry sister comb your hair!"
