Big Sisterly Acts

One night after lights out, Abigail came out of the bedroom to her parents in the kitchen. "Pascale's wheezing", she said. And indeed her sister was. Despite their conflicts Abigail still has a sense of caring responsibility.

Then after many pleads from their mother to turn off the computer and come to dinner, Abigail would comply leaving Pascale still playing ABC Playground games or such. Abigail would ask Pascale in an exasperated voice to turn off and come, then she would press the "off" button on the CPU when Pascale ignored her. She has seen Priscilla turn off the room lights to persuade the kids to leave their activity, but her parents explained that computers don't like being turned off without leaving the program/game first. Abigail is trying to act responsibly.
