My sister and I shared a room growing up, and once we got past the kicking and biting and scratching part in our tweens, we became great friends. We were even college roommates for a while, which worked out nicely and involved no kicking and scratching at all. However, there may have been a little rebellious rum drinking and cigarette smoking.My sister and I share the same family coping mechanism -- responding to most things with hysterical laughter -- which provided us with long jags of giggling until our stomachs hurt. My father started to call us the Silly Sisters (who are actually a real musical act that I now know and love -- but not as much as I love my sister.)
Happy Birthday Silly Sister -- and don't tell mom I have a blog!

I've never seen a picture of you from that era before. I love it. Silly Sister's sweater and your jacket are so familiar.
Knowing that you recently saw my highschool graduation photo, it comforts me to see this.
Ah, I believe this was just the start of my downward spiral into adolescent braces-wearing puberty hell. Guessing age 14? When I wasn't being a silly sister I was very unhappy about the whole thing.
Need I explain why? ; )
Oh, my friend! This is a jolt to me, to see the past again. Those were such painful times, but when I see this picture of you I remember how happy you made me. And happy birthday to the Silly Sister - I still remember sitting next to her in French class and her telling the story about making her boyfriend (a Crubaugh?) do a face mask with her.
I think that was Sara C.'s sister with the face mask story. My sister never dated a Crubaugh, lucky thing as that would have tormented me.
By the way, the Chef is now trying to match my bravery by finding his own pimply faced braces photo. I challenge you all! (mad laughter)
now that's throwing down the gauntlet Mz Haus Frau!!! However, I might shut down the Internet with mine while Homeland Security investigates so will be sure to send you my prize head shot of adolescence off-line and privately, heh heh
