I have a sister, so I know-that relationship, it's all about fairness: you want your sibling to have exactly what you have-the same amount of toys, the same number of meatballs on your spaghetti, the same share of love.

It's bigger than words. β¨ Jodi Picoult (2007). My Sister's Keeper, p.477, Simon and Schuster
