Kina is maybe even shorter than Ollie, who is one year younger than her, but she is still the big girl in her own mind—and, to some extent, Ollie’s. (Lulu accepts Kina’s status as the big girl, which is clearly gratifying to Kina.)

While we have your attention, our publisher would like to offer a clarification to our early morning edition: Yes, Kina was taking Ollie and Lulu to pizza, but for our benefit, not Ollie’s. We hope this detail helps your understanding of the news of the day.
