1 August 2002 (Thursday): sista

Um. To clarify, Liz is thirteen years old.

I hope that explains everything, or most things. Poor wayward Mr. S, trying to hit on my little sister. I think she was too confused to be traumatized.

While I'm on the subject, I've always wondered what the relationship between Liz and me will be like in the distant future. 13 <-> 23 is a big gap, but 43 <-> 53? 73 <-> 83? It's been interesting even in the past several years, watching the chasm narrow. After all, once upon a time she just drooled in response to everything I said.

And I just really like having her for a younger sister. Among other things, she's unflinchingly honest with me, and coming from a thirteen-year-old sibling the truth is somehow more palatable. When I stopped by the other weekend she greeted me with "Yay, you're home! And what the heck did you do to your hair?"

awww. :-) all these sisterly warm-fuzzy feelings are making me miss my own baby sister... i know just what you mean about the age gap narrowing. i remember when she was 12, and suddenly i found myself having actual conversations with this kid who used to toddle around after me annoyingly. :-) i suspect that the age gap won't exist at all, in another 10 years or so. very cool.

I did not comment on your hair! :) Thanks for displaying my age to the whole internet world, but hey, whatever. By the way, I chose to ignore Mr. S's hitting on me. I think he's too odd to be of any concern *grin*

Wow. When I was 13, I was lighting stuff on fire. I didn't even know what gurls were.

Oh, except that I had a sister. But that's different.
