The Great One thinks her younger brother, The Pain, is a messy, bratty, slowpoke who gets to stay up late and eat dessert even if he doesn't finish dinner. She thinks her parents love him more than they love her. The Pain thinks his older sister, The Great One, is a bossy know-it-all. Just because she's older, she can feed the cat, play real songs on the piano, and swim. He thinks his parents love her more than they love him. With her usual wit and wisdom, Judy Blume captures the very real feelings of a brother and sister and reassures her audience in the process.
