16 years ago today, my sister Ava sat in a hospital room holding her little birthday present in her arms. I had been born on her birthday exactly two years later. She was so excited to have a little sister and quickly took on the role of the bossiest person ever. Every year we have shared birthday parties, presents, and cakes. For those who think it is fun to share a birthday, against popular belief, you're right, it is fun. Every birthday I wake up and have a sister who can bear with me the embarrassment of being sung happy birthday to, and the horror of getting old.
This morning, Ava came into my room looking as if her upper lip smelled like poo. Flopping onto my bed with a sigh she said,
"I'm 18. I can go to real jail now."
"That sucks! No more juvie jail for you," I said rolling my eyes
Despite her efforts not to turn 18, she did.
Happy birthday to us, the best dutch twins ever!
Thanks for reading!
