RE: Weekend Freewrite ~ The Twenty Eight Minute, 5-Minute Freewrite ~ Prompt: "Plaid" ~ Original Story and Original Everything Else ~
What and engaging and charming tell, DD:) You had me smiling and giggling throughout. Ah, sibling conflict. I think we all traumatized to the nth degree and yet we managed to survive and even forgive each other. There must be something that aids our survival there. But Barbie hair cuts were going too far. Too far, I say. You never did that, right?
Thanks for the nice thoughts, I'm glad you enjoyed the romp down summer lane. Such a grand time as a youth (and youth in older body). I'm not sure what it is about that whole sibling thing. I've always couched it as brother and sister, but my friends with all girls en' familia were hard on each other too. Maybe MORE so. So it must be universal AND gender nonspecific. I'm sure you are right, it must be good for us in some plane...since we don't have to run from Saber toothed cats anymore, we have to substitute sib's for exercise and survival practice. I think I like this way better, smaller teeth and a chance for more "do-over's". Whatever it is, there seems to be a lot of it in families.
My brother and I never cut Barbies hair. Might have done other things, but not that. I think that is the difference, even though harassing was 'in', we were never mean or destructive. At least in my memory. Maybe that's why my sister still likes me. That and my incredible wit and charm....BTW: Got some GREAT oceanside property for sale. Interested? It's in Tucson.
Hope your Tuesday is a nice one. Thanks for popping in, Cheers.
Tuscon has the best coast line.
I KNOW. Can you believe it, I tell people, and they look at me a bit wonky. Go figure...
