Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 22, 2024

The tomboy is being harassed by her older sister…

I’m generally not a Holly fan, but I appreciate that she’s a fellow morning person.

No, what “somebody” needs is less of a know-it-all sister.

Alex is destined to be an all-night writer, artist, or similar creative person. She has already proved she has the imagination.

As for Holly—some people appreciate perky. Others don’t.

Good for Holly!

Holly ate a low-fat, nutritious breakfast without complaint AND ironed her own clothes? Wake up, Alix! You’re dreaming.

I would think this is backwards, the older Holly would be prone to sleep in, while the younger Alex would be raring to go.
