It doesn’t matter if one of you has more toys or lives in a bigger house. It doesn't matter about the color of your skin or who gave birth to you, you can't control that. What’s important is how much fun you have together and how you care for each other. It’s about who we are on the inside and how we treat each other, not about the things we have or where we come from.
