"My Sister"

"My Sister"

I was thinking just today
About how we used to play
Barbie dolls and make-up
Tea parties dress up
I remember how we'd fight
We made up and laughed all night
Wish we were kids again
My sister my friend

Do you think you could come and see me sometime soon
We could just hang out like we used to
It's late and I should go
But I can't hang up the phone
Until I tell you
What I don't tell you enough
Even though at times it seemed
We were more like enemies
I'd do it all again
My sister my friend

This song reminds me of my sister Abby and I. I would do anything to go back to when we were little kids again. When we were little we didn’t fight nearly as much as we do now. We actually got along and not on each other’s nerves every second of the day. We use to share everything and not care if one of us took a toy or piece of clothing away from the other one.

I remember when we were younger, we shared a room. We had bunk beds and I had the top bunk. Abby was afraid she would fall off from the top so she made me have the top. I didn’t mind too much. I would wake up in the morning and poke my head down to see if Abby was awake. Even if she wasn’t I would climb down the stairs and jump in her bed. She would awake up and we would start playing with our baby dolls or another toy. I can’t imagine sharing a room with her now, but looking back it worked perfectly when we were younger.

Abby and I loved playing with Barbie’s or baby dolls. I swear, anywhere we went we would take our babies. We would name them and take care of them like they were our “babies.” We had a little stroller that we put our babies in and we would walk up and down our driveway. We had a playroom and we would play house all the time. It was our favorite thing to do. We also loved dance. We both danced for several years and bonded over that. I would help Abby with her dance routines and we would always practice at home. I remember little things like this and think about how simple life was back then. Abby is in high school and I’m in college now. It’s so different. I also have a job so I’m not home that much and Abby and I barely hangout or do fun things together. It’s hard to find time to do things together when we have such crazy schedules. I hope that as we get older, we’ll be close like we were as kids.
