my sister learns to count

0.o

My sister woke me around 11:50 last night. My brother and I had picked her up from her friend Sally's birthday party, brought her home, and put her to bed. My brother went into the bedroom to read while I fell asleep watching the Braves game.

"Aidan," she whispered, tugging my shirt sleeve. "Guess how old I'm going to be next month."

"I don't know, sis," I said as I slipped on my glasses. "How old?"

She smiled and held up four fingers.

It is 7:30 now. My brother and I have been up with her for almost 8 hours. She still refuses to tell us where she got them.
