"Okay, I'll tell him.." says Lucy as she walks.<BR><BR> "Mom want you to bring in some logs for the fireplace," Lucy says Linuys, who sits on the cushion in front of the TV.<BR><BR> "You can pretend you're Abe Lincoln..he used to bring in logs for the fireplace all the time," she adds, standing on the doorstep and calling after Linus.<BR><BR> "HEY, THERE'S A SPIDER ON THAT LOG!" Lucy announces as she watches Linus carry a pile of firewood. Linus hair stands on end.<BR><BR> "AUGH!" Linus flies backwards into the air.<BR><BR> "I'm sorry..I was wrong...It was just a piece of bark..." Lucy bends over. Linus lying on his back, lifts his head off the floor.<BR><BR> "HEY! I WAS RIGHT! THERE IS A SPIDER ON THAT LOG!!" Lucy declares as Linus, standing, holds the wood.<BR><BR> "AUGH!" Linus tumbles backwards from the shock.<BR><BR> "I'm sorry..I was wrong again...It was just a piece of dirt..." Lucy bends over Linus's prone form to examine the log.<BR><BR> "I wonder if Abe Lincoln was afraid of spiders?" Lucy says as she walks behind Linus, who carries the pile of firewood. "I wonder if Abe Lincoln had an older sister?" Linus replies.<BR><BR>
Actually Abraham Lincoln did have an elder sister, Sarah Lincoln-Grigsby (1807-1828). As far as anyone can tell it doesn’t look like Sarah ever bullied Abe the way Lucy does Linus.
