I was nearly four when my third sibling was born. My Aunt was holding him (a thrid brother for me) and kept telling me not to touch his crown. His crown! I couldn't see a crown on his head and besides he was a boy! He had no business trying to wear a crown. My father had told me that I was the princess in this family. I thought that my Aunt was very mistaken, it was years later that I found out that she meant the soft spot on the new baby's head is the crown.
