what little brothers do.


this is the best sandcastle on the beach.
built today by ella herself.
she put so much time and effort into this creation.
ryan, in all his curiosity,
came over to see her wonderful masterpiece.
and i,
watching from the shore,
could see it coming...
"i'm a monster." i hear ryan yelling.
and in one quick stomp of his foot...
he demolished her sandcastle.
ella's first lesson in 'what little brothers do'
speaking from experience,
this one is a difficult lesson to comprehend.
but one she will look back on someday
and hopefully be able to share with her daughter.
