Lovely Readers,
I cannot, in any words, describe to you what it feels like
to be big amongst the little. I mean
this in many different ways:
1.
Age.
Tonight at the Mutual activity, all the girls were combined and they
pampered little sisters. My sister, baby
k, is the baby sister so they allowed me to come join the festivities. So, I was literally the oldest amongst all
the girls – and all the little sisters.
*Side Note:
The big sisters did our makeup, hair, and nails. Some little girls looked gorgeous. Others…well, teens like to pick on their
siblings, am I right?*
2.
Maturity.
However much I may adore the girls, it is true that when it comes down
to little groupies of peoples, I choose to hang with the leaders. It’s clearly much easier to talk to them
while the girlies talk boys, school, and gossip.
Now let me clarify something. No, I was not the tallest of any of the
girlies by a long shot. In fact, the
only girls I was taller than were the little sisters – who were mostly eight
and younger so…
I must admit, pampering is hard and I don’t like pampering
myself. But I love being pampered.
So I said I can’t describe in words, well what I really
meant was that after 19 years of being the oldest, being the youngest tonight
was a treat indeed. Instead of being in
charge, I watched the big sisters control the crowd. Instead of worrying about the girls
participating, I watched the leaders keep them involved by talking to
them. Nothing was my responsibility
tonight.
Maybe that’s why parents get so stressed out…
