Older Brother

Nick and I were hanging at Julius Meinl the other day (I needed a cold drink, he needed an expensive piece of cake) when we ran into our neighbor. Somehow we had never met his kids before. He has an older boy and younger girl. I asked the boy if he could give Nick some advice about being a big brother. Here it is, from a 6 year old's mouth - "Don't use your sister as a punching bag." Wow, that was honest. And probably very good advice. His dad looked like he would pass out on the spot. I just laughed. Little Nick, not even sure what he was thinking. Probably something like "hmmm, I should have orderd one of the mango smoothies like they did."
