Letters from Lil' Sis
"That's it?" lil' sis said. "But I like it when you talk all about me." Well, since lil' sis apparently has quite a few fans among my readers, I thought I'd give you a little insight into "lil' sis." Plus, it's one more post all about her, which should make her plenty happy.
As you know, she's "lil'" because she's quite a bit younger than me. And she constantly moans about how I "abandoned her" ie. left for college. Well, this was before the internet, or cell phones with free long distance, so occasional phone calls and old-fashioned letters were the primary means of contact for a poor college student and her baby sister. I've kept all her letters, and we chuckled over these last night.
These were written when lil' sis was in kindergarten and first grade.

Hedgehog,
Thanks!
Nikki,
Creativity? You notice lil' sis was asking for things in every single letter?
BC,
3 years is good. Sometimes I wish my sister and I were closer in age.
Elmo,
Here's a handkerchief.
Tania,
I'm sure you can get candy there!
Awww...I want a sister! Sometimes it sucks being an only child. :(
ReplyDeleteJeannie,
ReplyDeleteReally? That's pretty rare. I think you're only the second VNese person I know of who's an only child.
Yeah our ppls are quite fertile. :P The rest of my family is quite large, so I'm the anomaly .
ReplyDeleteJeannie,
ReplyDeleteAh, well the large family makes up for the lack of siblings. And hey, you've got an "evil twin" so that's almost the same thing. :)
HILARIOUS because this post reminds me of when i went off to school, my sisters used to write to me too. i still have them as well. seriously, some of the things they used to draw and write! if only we could keep them that young and innocent always. :)
ReplyDeleteLan,
ReplyDeleteAww, that's sweet to think of your sisters all writing you letters too. I'm always lamenting that my lil' sis isn't small enough for me to pick up in my arms anymore. Why do they have to grow up?
