During A Family Dinner My Sister Took My 5-Year-Old Daughter To The Store To Buy Her A Birthday Gift. When She Returned Alone, I Asked Where My Daughter Was And She Sneered: ‘Oh Sorry, I Must Have Forgotten Her At The Store.’ My Mothe Backed Her Up: ‘Don’t Worry, You’ll Find Her There Eventually.’ Sister Laughed: ‘Maybe She’ll Learn Not To Steal My Daughter’s Thunder.’ Turns Out They Didn’t Want My Daughter Having More Attention Than Her Daughter’s Birthday.

Kids fault and they get up. And if she doesn’t, guess we won’t have any more drama.” When I went to pick up my daughter, she wasn’t moving. I immediately …
