This is such a delightful, well-written story, @ubani1. The characters are relatable. Anyone who has grown up with a sibling will recognize the back and forth between Sarah and Kara. You set the backdrop nicely: the mother is left to provide for her children and so the three of them are on their own.

Dialogue in the piece is believable. You use vernacular terms well. And, Mom's reaction is proportional to Sarah's 'crime'.

A very good job, @ubani1. Thank you for posting this story in the Ink Well community.
