When you feel an obligation to supervise your younger siblings, the big brother monitoring station becomes a critical place.
Look at those kids playing out there.
Frankie Suave tries to act nonchalant about the behavior of his younger brothers, but the reality is that he feels responsible to keep them out of trouble. And with Typhoon and Landon, that can be a considerable amount of work.

Hey, you two! No running in the pool area!
