Dear Shayna B.,
I am a huge fan (we read your advice at the Shabbat table each week!) and I am in dire need of help. My sister had a shabbaton, so I took the opportunity to nab her pillow, since it is the most comfortable one in the house. When she came back, she noticed her pillow was not the same, and she has been fuming at me ever since. How do I appease my sister without dying in the process?

Dear Clownish Chezki,
How did you manage to make her pillow feel different?
You could try changing the pillowcase. Or you can just admit you took the pillow and face the music. Some siblings are not that good at sharing. However, this is why you need to teach them. If they are older than you, you must wear a full body suit to cushion yourself from your sibling’s painful punches during the training period.
Best of luck,Shayna B.
