sisterness
for halloween the boom boom room girls are going to be beanie babies. naturally, i'm going to be a bumblebee (aw, yeah, that's right a boom boom room bumblebee beanie baby), as i have black and yellow articles of clothing already, what with being a hufflepuff and all. i claimed it immediately. thing 5 will be a kangaroo, because she's pregnant, and thing 3 claimed cheetah, since she has a bunch of cheetah print clothing. thing 4 hasn't decided yet. and angie? what did dear angie decide to be? a ladybug.
really? a ladybug? when it drives me nuts that you're so dependent on us being the very best of work friends, together at all times, never able to so much as go to the kitchen to get your oatmeal until i say that i'm going to go get tea, you're gonna be a ladybug? when i'm a bumblebee? we are not the same person! last year for thing 4's birthday, i colored a purple dragon, because she loves purple and dragons. and so you colored a purple dragon. guess what - i actually meant it when i said that was annoying. you don't have to copy me!
this is what i have been saying in my head for a week or so, as i've asked myself over and over what is her deal? today it dawned on me. we say i'm like the big sister she never had and she's a pesky little sister. it all makes so much sense. she's never had someone to emulate. and as she's a very lovey-dovey person, she thinks it's great fun for friends to be the same, and so she'll do whatever i do. i, on the other hand, have never had a little sister, constantly present and wanting to do everything i do. this is completely new territory for me. and i am not the lovey-dovey type who wants someone joined at my hip, so it makes it that much worse.
so my apologies, didder, for being annoying and wanting to do everything you did and be with you all the time back in the day. i'm trying ever so hard to be patient. and i'm going to try all that much harder to be that much cuter to be sure that at least if someone thinks we're trying to be cutesy, her ladybug is just a poor man's bumblebee.

Awww... you know, I've thought God has been showing me things about myself through these younger friends I've met through politics. I suppose this is similar. :) (But I'm trying not to be jealous. ;) )
don't be jealous. if you were here and chose to be a ladybug then i'd just be mad at you instead. ;)
Aww, thanks. :D
That's the sincerest form of flattery, isn't it?? I LOVE that picture of the sisters! It's exactly what you wrote about. It fully encapsulates "a picture is worth a thousand words" LOL
