protective of her little brother, and he in turn, doted on
her.Perhaps it was about needing space, asserting
independence…whatever the reason, it drove my husband and I
crazy. It would start over the tiniest of excuses. One
minute the house would be quiet, and the next they'd be
shouting at one another."Mom, Laura won't give my CD back!""It's not yours. It's mine!""No it isn't. I got it for Christmas!""No you didn't. I did!"And on and on it would go. Until, finally, one of us would
