The Perfect Brother

While we're on the subject of your sister, did I mention I sometimes wondered if you would ever utter a word if she hadn't first said it? There were times I pictured that they would think you were mute when you started kindergarten, even college, if she weren't around to prime you first. Eventually you got beyond that, but she was so the apple of your eye for a couple of years there that you repeated every word she said. Not only that, she knew her powers over you and could get you to clean up her room for her or do her bidding whenever she wanted. Ah, if only you hadn't outgrown that phase, she could sure put you to work now!
