1. She calls me Toots and I call her Babe. (Actually I hate it that she calls me Toots, but no one else could get away with it.) {Updated 3/06 to add: This is 'toots' as in 'tootsie.' Not 'toots' as in flatulence.} 2. She is the best Aunt EVER. I mean, EVER, and I had/have seriously great aunts so I would know. And she's still the best. 3. She decided we should have a "Sister Box." It's a shoebox that we take turns filling with whatever the other will like. Once full, it gets mailed to the other one to fill. (And she's better at it than me.) 4. Once when we were walking down the street together we saw what looked like a very big, very dead dog in the middle of the road. She immediately changed places with me so that she would be closer to the dead dog when we passed. Now that's Big Sister Love for ya, right there. Except it turned out to be a shirt that just really looked like a dead dog. (We were ages 33 and 30 at the time.) 5. We make the same awful, gasping-all-the-air-out-of-the-room noise when we're really laughing hard. 6. Also? We snort when we're together and laughing, and then we laugh harder at each other's snorts, which makes us snort and laugh more and then cry when we laugh and snort. And make awful gasping noises. Sometimes there's even snot involved. 7. She comes to visit and criticizes all the things I don't have in my kitchen that she needs. Then we go to the store and buy them all. Then she cooks for me. Then, sometimes, she'll admit her kitchen doesn't have them either. 8. If I call her during 'Alias', she'll pick up the phone and YELL at me for interrupting. Really, I just wish she'd not answer at all. But I love her for this weirdness anyway. 9. She bought me Hello Kitty tape, because I had some when I was little and I loved it. And because my mom bought me the Hello Kitty tape dispenser. Aren't they great? 10. When I call her amid a cooking crisis (about once a month), she takes a deep breath and talks me through it and usually doesn't make fun of me until later. 11. When I call her asking how to boil eggs, she takes a deep breath and tells me. (Usually 3-4 times a year.) 12. She has glorious wavy hair that always looks wonderful, even when she's complaining about it. Actually, this is not a reason I love her, now that I think about it. It's a source of great jealousy. But whatever. Also? Skin like PORCELAIN, for pete's sake. So jealous. 13. She's my best friend. Awwwww. |

I am SO jealous. I am the big sister but my little sister is kinda mean and she just rolls her eyes and gets snarky if I try to be nice to her.
But it was fun reading your list! I'm going to go call my sister now and if she gets mad at me I'll make her read YOUR blog and tell her it's all your fault!
Aww this post matches up with the pics I posted yesterday. I don't have a sister only a little brother who is so far away I never see him.
Great list, I hope you show it to your sister.
My TT list is up :)
