This is charming and so vivid - the newsstand and the chocolate cherries. I laughed at 'Oh the bone, the bone!' (I'm assuming it was a lot of noise for not that much suffering).
I loved this story, Eliza. It points out just how hard growing up in any family can me, but especially one with fractures in it. I hope you eventually got some use out of the orange bike.
That is jealousy I really understand. It is both from seeing our oldest Anneke have that extra time and Abi the youngest cane out ever so slightly undercooked but very fierce! So loved reading this after a trip to Vermont spending time on the farm with Anneke!
...and Two Children. Bringing Orrin into the portrait you are painting of your family added much, and as usual selecting the painting to illustrate your text is brilliant. Looking forward to the next installment. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=you+tube+you%27ll+never+go+down+the+drain&mid=86C170F731084DE42AD686C170F731084DE42AD6&FORM=VIRE
Thank you, Amy. And, yes, we had that Mr Roger’s album!

Thank you, Lucy. Yes, pure performance.

Thank you, Gregory. It was a lousy bike but I rode it.
Glad it wasn’t an ebike!!!
True!
Great ending! Made me laugh.
Thank you, Jill 😊
So many different gears to master in one family. Really well told, Eliza. (And I love the paintings.)
Well put (and observed) ♥️ I feel seen
A charming story of childhood rivalry, told so beautifully
Thank you, Margi.
Ah, sibling rivalries.
:)
