Happiness Quote by The writers of Encouraging.com
““My sister could really tell some tales on me. She knows things about me that my parents don’t know. This went against me when we were young, because she sometimes used her knowledge to her advantage. Even though I called her tattletale, she shook her head and nodded at me with a smug look, content in the fact that I was about to be punished””
