Scamp and Bombshell are only 13 months apart so are more like twins, and they are very close. They have always been very close. Whenever Bombshell would get in trouble though both boys would console her. They spoiled her. And in her own way she was very protective of them.
I remember sitting in the front yard one day, watching the children as they played in the park across the street. Bombshell was only about 4 making Scamp around 5 at the time. There was one child in the neighborhood that was somewhat of a bully. He was the same age as Scamp and a bit overweight.
On this particular day, I saw Bully pick up a fairly large stick that he was preparing to hit Scamp in the back of the head with. Scamp had no idea since he was watching other children. When over the breeze came this soft gentle voice, “Bulllllllyyyyyy, if you hit him, I’m going to take your head off.” I looked around and there was Bombshell heading over to Bully with a 3 foot log slung over her shoulder. The “log” was bigger than she was She looked like she was going to up to bat. Apparently Bully took her seriously as he put his stick down as fast as he could.
After that Bully took to following her around like a sick puppy dog. He was definitely in love and she didn’t want anything to do with him.

What a cute story! Mine were 16 and 18 months apart and like the 3 musketeers. They fought so hard I thought they would hospitalize each other, but they always knew how to just stop short. It was rare that anyone in the 56-kid neighborhood would irritate one of them because it was well known the other two would end that quickly! That continued right through high school and included Old Dear's 2...what a gang of 5!
Sounds like it, lol.
