How Not to Comfort Your Sister
After soccer today Annika was very sad (on the ground sobbing) because she was not able to pick up all the cones herself (another boy had picked up a few). Her mommy knelt down and soothingly explained, "Annika it’s okay to be sad, but it’s not okay to throw a fit." Eric who was listening nearby piped in with this statement. "Annika, I know somthing that will make you even more sad." He paused. "I’m going to Nana’s and you’re not coming." Thanks for the help Eric.

I can make you both even sadder. I came to Irene’s and you didn’t.
