I've always had a special empathy for my youngest son, Jack because I know he struggles with being the little brother. Frequently being compared to his older siblings at school or by others. I've been lucky enough to have one on one time with Jack, every day; both to and from school this year and we have some pretty great conversations.

Earlier this week we were on our way home from school and we were listening to Dr. Laura, as we do every day. He said 'Mom do you ever think of calling Dr. Laura? Maybe she can help you with the situation with your sisters. I mean, after all, she is always right.' Smart Kid! I've learned a lot by listening to the advice that she's given other callers in similar situations and it's brought me a lot of peace'. He tells me that he notices that. Then he says he wishes Dr. Laura was his Aunt so he could have an Aunt to look up to and admire. I say to him that would be pretty special, wouldn't it?

So now we no longer listen to Dr. Laura on our way home from school. We listen to Aunt Laura!
