Once upon a time, on a sunny August afternoon, a girl spent hours filling up a box with warm water. She worked up quite a sweat filling each pail with water, dragging the pails, and dumping them into the box. She called this box her "hot tub." The girl was very happy in her "hot tub." The very happy girl had a very curious baby sister. The baby sister was always two steps behind her. The baby sister, a woman of little words, happily made her way into the "hot tub" unannounced.  At first, the girl was quite happy sharing her "hot tub" with her baby sister. The two girls giggled and squealed and enjoyed each others company. Life was good for them both, in the "hot tub."  Moments later. The baby sister, still high on Ben and Jerry's mango sorbet, started to cause a bit of unannounced chaos. Swish. Splash. Splosh.  The mother of the two beautiful girls observed the chaos behind her camera lens and did not intervene. Sometimes it is more important to let a story develop on it's own and wait for the moral or lesson learned. The mother silently giggled.  The girl had enough of her baby sister and screamed for her to stop. The baby sister, a woman of little words, did not give in. The girl held up her hands in protest, hoping that body language would be understood by the baby.  Words failed. Body language failed. The defeated girl left the baby sister, a woman of little words, alone in the "hot tub."  It was on this sunny August afternoon, that the girl learned that her sister was a force to be reckoned with. She did not like it.  Moments later, after another round of Ben and Jerry's mango sorbet the girl's world was okay again. However, she will always remember the day she learned that her baby sister was no longer a baby, but a real sister. And. In this world. They lived happily ever after. The sisters never had another argument, always shared clothes, exchanged only loving words, and vowed to be the best of friends. The end. |
