“How do you spell ‘love?’”
Lillie was hunched over a piece of paper, writing with a purple marker.
“L-O-V-E.”
“Thanks Dad.” She finished her note and ran to the other room. “Here Collie, I wrote this for you.”
Collie read it out loud.
I love you Collie. Love Lillie.
There was a heart drawn at the top.
“Thank you, Lillie,” Collie said, hugging his sister. “I love you too!”
They set to playing with their menagerie of stuffed animals.
A few moments later they were quarreling. Then shouting.
“Oh, sure!” Collie yelled. “You wrote that note and now that means nothing!”
“I hate you!” Lillie shouted.
They decided to watch television.
