Twinkle Twinkle cruelty

I have never seen a child love a sibling more than my daughter loves her brother. It’s truly remarkable. Clara routinely approaches strangers in restaurants, parks and stores to tell them about her little brother.

This is even more surprising given that the first time she met Charlie and realized he was a boy, she wailed in soul-crushing agony on the floor of the hospital waiting room for about 15 seconds before immediately recovering and becoming instantly infatuated with him.

Still, that doesn’t mean she’s not capable of an occasional act of cruelty, particularly when it comes to her toys. Sharing is the one area that she is willing to be less-than-kind to her brother, as you will see in this video.

It starts out cute but ends up cruel.
