It Is Just Such A Cheerful Sound....

My granddaughter makes, rushing in to inform me she is killing everyone, and not getting killed herself, with such a smile on her face. She just turned six, and her older brother has turned her loose on one of his 'shooter' video-games, which I suspect he has put on an easy setting....

The words seriously do not match the face. It is a change from her usual Equestria and flower fairies, but her brothers are twelve and fourteen, and she considers them the coolest things on earth, and is now is doing something they do....

That is kind of them, not many young lads would be willing to play with a 6 year old girl.

There are frictions of course, but especially out of doors they have always played well with her. We all go down to the park and hide and seek gets epic, especially on a 'night walk'.

Her oldest brother broke his foot a few days ago, and she is very happy to get him small comforts when asked.
