Maybe Nat doesn't know that at her dance recital Sheryl ran away more than once. When Natalie, Little Red Riding Hood, was dancing her way out of the grips of the big bad wolfe Sheryl became very upset at the thought of the wolfe eating her sister. Suddenly she let out a little "No!" popped out of her seat and began running down the isle. She was leaving this scene. I had to go after her just as I had to go after Natalie several years earlier in a movie theater. I had taken Natalie and Amber to see Sleeping Beauty. When the evil queen grew into a dragon the size of a movie screen Natalie decided the same as Sheryl. I'm not staying for this! She popped out of her seat and ran into the isle. She was leaving. I had to go after her. At the end of the dance recital Sheryl was very surprised and happy to see that Natalie was alive and well, no bite marks either. The wolfe hadn't done anything but tear away part of her red cape. However, when Nat tried to introduce Sheryl to her friend behind the wolfe mask, Sheryl would have no part of it. No amount of coaxing or explanation could push Sheryl into even one step towards that wolfe. Nat and Sheryl were skeptical of dragons and wolves. After all, isn't that what mom and dad have taught you all for your own safety?

I've always thought that Sheryl's worry and concern about her brother and sisters really was a indication that she should have been the oldest kid.
