I have this little sister Lola.
She is small and very funny.
When we play ‘Who can sit still the longest!’ Lola always has to win.
Last time we played, Lola said, ‘I’ve won!’
I say, ‘But I didn’t move!’
Lola says, ‘Yes, you did! I’ve won! I always win… always, always, always!’
And then she says, ‘I can run faster than a speedy, speedy cheetah, and I can stand on one leg longer than a flamingo! And I can bounce higher than a bouncy kangaroo, Charlie! See!’
Even when we’re drinking pink milk, Lola has to finish first.
I say, ‘But do you have to win at everything, Lola?’
And Lola says, ‘Yep. I’ve won!’
