When you're as close to your sister as I am to mine, you will often get lovely e-mails, filled with love and witty anecdotes and recipes for chocolate cake.
Or...you could have a sister who is a nurse. That's when you get e-mails that start like this:
"Hi! Taking a brief moment from my patient's incessant diarrhea :-)."
Jealous, much? And don't even get me started on the sad tales that I'm lucky enough to hear over the dinner table. For example, a few of the popular topics are:
-- Firehose-power diarrhea
-- Projectile phlegm/loogies
-- Extra appendages....of the male persuasion
And her husband is going to school to be a nurse, too. -sigh-. Definitely a case where "Double the pleasure, double the fun" is NOT a true statement.
Training moves to the trail.

i take offense!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand may i defend myself, it WAS incessant diarrhea. (and i didn't even go into how it SMELLED). and i WAS sending you a cake recipe. so THERE. i'm a normal sister, but of the 'unique' variety. :-) and yes it's true you will get double the fun - especially at family dinners!
PS and speaking of grossness and dinnertime-topic taboo, has dad shared with you about what happens if you fall off your ATV and break your pelvis? i think he's a little more careful now...
LOVE YOU!!
pps. the proper terminology for loogies/phlegm is SPUTUM. haven't you learned anything from my stories???
