Some days, I pity my niece, Mary Beth. The only girl of my mom's six grandchildren, life can be a little alienating for her. Jack taunts her. Ben tackles her. And her baby brother gets a LOT of attention from mom. Never mind that those baby dolls are tucked in bed nicely. When Ben and Jack come over, they are destined to be rammed and hit and strangled.
I took this video of the three of them playing with her Barbie Jeep this past weekend, and thought it pretty much explained their relationship right now. (Notice Mary running for dear life when the "dynamic duo," as my mom calls them, come after her.)
One day, they'll be her protectors. But not today.
