STH-For years, my mother had quietly allowed my 10-year-old niece to choose first whenever the cousins wanted the same thing. Then, on Christmas morning, my niece opened my daughter’s gift, moved the expensive doll into her own pile, and behaved as though nothing unusual had happened. I was ready to call it stealing. Instead, she looked at Grandma and said, “You always let me choose first.” The room fell silent for a reason none of us wanted to admit.
