-Nuria: Hello my children, how did you do at school?

- Jude:  (With annoyed face) Bored as always.

- Jade: (Excited) Great! In art class we learned how to make collage with dry leaves.

- Jude: (Disgusted) How boring. I dont know why we go to school, it's always the same.

-Nuria: Well, go keep your things and come to have a snack. What do I make?

- Jude: (With an angry face) Anything, I do not care, its just food

(The twins go out through the back door)

-Nuria: (To Claudia) Did you see? It's all day like this. It is increasingly negative.

-Claudia: They do not behave like brothers, they are so different; Jade  is pure joy.

-Nuria: Yes, I'm worried, I do not know why Jude is like that, I do not know what to do to change his attitude.

-Claudia: Maybe at some point he is jealous or feel envious of his sister.

-Nuria: Do you think?

-Claudia: Yes, it is normal among the brothers a little jealousy, more if they are twins. Maybe Jude  feels that you prefer Jude.

-Nuria: And what can I do to make him stop thinking that way?

-Claudia: Take advantage of their birthday. Buy Jude  the best and most expensive gift you can get. Something really out of the ordinary. And to Jade give her any little thing.
