Anne receives a look-a-alike award from the Chick-fil-A cow. Dawn is, as always, supportive.Today is my sister Anne's birthday. I'm not saying how old she is, but let's just say this could be the tenth anniversary of her 21st birthday.
In honor of Anne's special day, I've compiled a list of Life Lessons By Anne. You see, it wasn't always easy for Anne growing up with a bossy, know-it-all big sister. Hopefully, you'll learn a little something by reading this.
1. The Easter bunny is actually an evil child-eating monster who lives under the bed of the youngest sister. The beast won't attack as long as all chocolate eggs and bunnies are given to the oldest sister.
2. If you see a few hairs in your hairbrush, you are losing your hair. The only way to ensure that you won't be bald by age 15 is to carefully place the loose hairs on top of your head. If you walk carefully all day at school, the hairs will reattach themselves to your scalp.
3. You're allowed to hang out with your sister's older, cooler friends as long as you don't speak.
4. There are times when it's cool for sisters to pretend they are twins, but most times it's best to act like strangers.
5. Mom doesn't need to know everything that happens at school, on the playground, at the neighbor's house or at the pool. It's for her own good. You don't want to get her upset.
6. Things that get broken at home are always the fault and responsibility of the younger sister. Even if it appears the older sister broke a vase, the younger sister "made her do it because she was in the way."
7. Letting your older sister cut your hair is a very good idea.
8. Knuckle sandwiches don't taste good. And seefood is not the same as seafood.
9. Sharing is good when the toys belong to the little sister, but unfortunately, it's against the law for the older sister to share her toys, otherwise she would totally do it.
10. Being adopted is nothing to be ashamed of even if your birth parents are in jail for stealing toys from disabled orphans on Christmas Eve.

I can't believe I am admitting that most of these are really true. Why do I still talk to you? Oh wait I know- because you might have taught me some tough real life lessons but you also taught me....that it is okay to be me. (even odd me-- just not around you or your friends). You also taught me how to officially stop counting b-days, how to enjoy wine, and most importantly.... how to love unconditionally :)
