Taylor The Gerbil

TAYLOR, WAS A SMALL VERY FURRY GERBIL, SHE HAD ONE OLDER
SISTER LIVING AT HOME AND ONE YOUNGER BROTHER. NOBODY UNDERSTOOD WHAT
BEING THE MIDDLE GERBIL WAS LIKE. SHE WAS THE BABY FOR A LONG TIME
PAMPERED,FUSSED OVER,THEN HE, CAME ALONG AND SPOILED IT
ALL.

 NOW HER OLDER SISTER GOT EVERYTHING, GOT
TO DO STUFF THAT TAYLOR WASN'T OLD ENOUGH TO DO YET,HER BABY BROTHER
GOT ALL THE ATTENTION. &;quot;THIS IS NOT FAIR YELLED TAYLOR,I NEVER
GET ANYTHING AROUND HERE,I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE&;quot;  SAID
TAYLOR,CHEWING ON THE CAGE.

&;quot;AS SOON AS I
CHEW THROUGH THIS BAR, I'M RUNNING AWAY AND NEVER COMING BACK SHE
SCREAMED!!!! THERE GOES THAT ITCHY SPOT AGAIN MOM, WILL YOU MAKE THIS
STOP ITCHING ME&;quot; MAMA GERBIL,STOOD WITH HER HANDS ON HER HIPS
LOOKING AT TAYLOR. &;quot;WHAT EVER IS THE MATTER WITH YOU TODAY
DON'T YOU FEEL WELL TAYLOR&;quot;

&;quot;I
CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING AROUND HERE NICKI,TOOK MY CRAYON AND SCRIBBLED ON
MY FAVORITE PAGE THAT I WAS GOING TO COLOR NEXT,AND SAMANTHA KICKED MY
SHOE UNDER THE BED AND WON'T GET IT OUT,AND NOBODY HELPS ME WITH MY
HOMEWORK,AND I HAVE BEEN SCRATCHING ALL DAY LONG&;quot; 
&;quot;YOU MEAN ITCHING&;quot; SAMANTHA SAID.  &;quot;YOU
SHUT UP,MOM MAKE HER SHUT UP&;quot;

MAYBE SHE'S
SICK THOUGHT MAMA. &;quot;COME HERE TAYLOR, LET'S CHECK YOUR TEMP
AND SEE IF YOU HAVE A RASH THAT'S MAKING YOU ITCH&;quot; AFTER
MAKING SURE THAT ALL WAS WELL WITH TAYLOR,MAMA SAT DOWN WITH TAYLOR ON
HER LAP. 

&;quot;TAYLOR, YOU ARE NOT SICK
AND YOU'VE BEEN ACTING UP FOR A WHILE NOW TELL ME WHATS THE
MATTER&;quot;  &;quot;EVERYBODY SAYS THAT SAMANTHA IS
GETTING SO BIG NOW AND IS SO PRETTY, AND NICKI IS JUST SO CUTE, THEN
THEY SAY YOUR PRETTY TOO TAYLOR&;quot;  &;quot;OH I SEE
 SAID MAMA. &;quot;YOU THINK THAT WE DON'T LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS
SAMANTHA AND NICKI THATS IT ISN'T
IT&;quot;

&;quot;YOU WERE THE BABY ONE DAY THEN
NICKI CAME AND YOU WERE NOT A BABY ANYMORE,BUT A BIG SISTER THE SAME
THING HAPPENED WHEN YOU WERE BORN ALL OF A SUDDEN SAMANTHA, WASN'T THE
BABY ANYMORE EITHER SHE FELT THE SAME WAY THAT YOU DO UNTIL SHE
REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT BEING A BIG SISTER IS&;quot; &;quot;REALLY
MAMA&;quot; SAID TAYLOR.

&;quot;NICKI WATCHES
YOU AND LEARNS FROM YOU, IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE STAYING INSIDE THE LINES
WHEN YOU COLOR,AND WHICH SHOE GOES ON WHICH FOOT,HOW TO HOLD YOUR FORK
WHEN YOU EAT,AND HOW TO PLAY. YOU SEE, BABIES DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO
ANY OF THAT THEY, LEARN BY WATCHING WHAT YOU DO AND HOW YOU
ACT&;quot;

&;quot;SAMANTHA, TAUGHT YOU
THINGS,NOW YOU ARE TEACHING NICKI.I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU. YOU ARE VERY
SPECIAL TAYLOR,AND WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH&;quot; TAYLORS ITCHING
STOPPED THEN AND WHEN NICKI TOOK HER CRAYON INSTEAD,OF YELLING FOR MOM,
TAYLOR SAID &;quot;WAIT NICKI I'LL SHOW YOU&;quot; MAMA, WATCHED
AS TAYLOR TOOK CHARGE OF NICKI,SHE WAS SO VERY PROUD OF HER. TAYLOR'S
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GERBIL THOUGHT MAMA, AND SO GROWN UP
TOO.
