I just wanted to take a minute to say.. that since we're sisters now, welcome to the fold. I do, however, want to be sure that you know we have rules. Since you weren't privvy to them before, I felt that someone needed to just sit and write them down so you will know.. *wicked grin* I'll number them so it'll be easier to keep up with. You might want to print them so you don't forget.. and maybe it'd be a good idea to study them, there might be a quiz.. I'm not sure yet!
1) Just because I'm oldest doesn't mean I look oldest. You and Lisa must conceed that I'm the youngest looking by far.
2) If I have something and you need it, by the rules you're required to say so.. and vice-versa. If I don't have it but Lisa does, you're required by the rules to go to her, and vice-versa.
3) Babysitting is free and at the drop of a hat. No exceptions.
4) We're not allowed to be jealous of each other. We are allowed to exhibit 'happy jealousy' but that's all and only for a brief few moments. Breaking this rule is punishable by Mom spraying aresol hairspray directly into the offender's face. Breaking this rule twice .. no wait.. we never have, the hair spray is enough to keep us from breaking this rule again...
5) We can never go beyond 24 hours being angry with each other. Over night is enough to start making Mom jittery, so while it's allowed from time to time, remember that anything over 24 hours is punishable by Mom taking Wire Pliers to the offender's fingernails. (OUCH!) Again, I'm not sure what happens when this rule is broken twice.
6) Never call Mom "Mother" - that vexes her. You may sometimes call her "Granny", or Gran, but 'Mother' is punishable by Mom making you eat potatoes which she's fried in cod liver oil. (Yuck!)
7) You must always check in at least once every other day, preferably once a day, but we can get away with the every other day business, unless we otherwise notify Mom in advance of where we'll be and who we'll be with and when we're coming home. She just likes to know we're alright.
8) You have to gain weight so that we can all share each other's clothes. *laughs* I like this rule!
9) Continuing because I like it, not because Mom insists (let's be fair about this rule business) anything that gets messed up, dropped, lost or cluster-fucked is automatically blamed on "Shannon". I LOVE this one!! hehe!
10) Forever and always we're all for one, one for all. D'Artagnan, Athos, and Porthos have nothing over on us. :)
I love you Shannon, thanks for everything. :)
