Dina’s been having some 1st grade social issues. One girl who goes around telling everyone she’s her best friend (for the day) and wreaking havoc on preexisting relationships, a group of girls who seem kind of nice, but who just sit around doing nothing all of recess regarding whom Dina is at a complete loss (do I try to get them to “play”? Do I try to break into their group, only to be bored?). What’s a six-year-old girl to do? I’ll tell you what: listen to her sister, who had this to say:
“Look Dina, I’ve been sitting here listening to your problem. I know how you’re feeling, because I’ve had a hard life, too. But you’re a wonderful person, and anyone would be lucky to be your friend.”
Big smiles; case closed. Who needs Mommy when you’ve got an older sister who counsels you like the advice page in American Girl Magazine, but actually means what she’s saying?

i love that she said “i’ve had a hard life too”
simply adorable
Mike, let’s iris out a little bit.
Bassie – can you please give us a little explanation of the elements/events that have made your life hard?
i thought it clear that she meant she’s had a hard life in the same ways as dina’s life is now difficult. so when bassie went to a new school and was called ‘bossy’ and teased by her classmates she learned that life is tough and gained the wisdom she now shares with her sister
