    Melissa and Rosemary, high school students, were traversing the bustling corridors of their school, discussing their younger sister Rosie.

    Rosemary was giggling, 'Melissa, did you smell Rosie's diaper this morning? It was...epic!' Melissa just rolled her eyes, trying to keep her sister's loud voice down.

    Arriving home, they found Rosie in the garden, her chubby cheeks rosy from playing. She was their bundle of joy, albeit with frequent diaper changes.

    Melissa said, 'Rosemary, it's your turn to change Rosie's diaper.' Rosemary groaned but went over to Rosie, making silly faces to keep her entertained.

    Rosemary, with a playful sigh, said, 'Rosie, you are one stinky baby.' Rosie just giggled, her laughter echoing through the house.

    Melissa looked at Rosemary, saying, 'Even with all the diaper changes, I wouldn't trade Rosie for anything.' Rosemary nodded, her love for their sister evident.

    Rosemary added, 'And who knows? Maybe one day, Rosie will be the one changing our diapers!' They burst into laughter, careful not to wake Rosie.

    As the night deepened, the sisters fell asleep, their bond strengthened by the shared responsibility of taking care of Rosie, their love for her palpable in the quiet room.

    Melissa, seeing Rosie's messy face, laughed, 'Rosemary, looks like you fed Rosie more than she ate.' Rosemary just shrugged, grinning ear to ear.

    Rosemary joked, 'Well, at least we know she won't be hungry.' Melissa rolled her eyes but couldn't hide her smile. Rosie was their little sunshine.

    As they left for school, they kissed Rosie goodbye, her giggles following them out the door. Another day of high school awaited them, but their hearts were at home with Rosie.

    Despite the daily challenges and many diaper changes, Melissa and Rosemary wouldn't have it any other way. They embraced their responsibilities, their love for Rosie shaping their teenage lives.
