She who always got better grades, slouched her socks more perfectly slouchy, AND won every game we played. We would play for hours on end, but I just couldn’t win. Every time I would try to one up her and pull out a tricky piece and place it on the top, the tower would come crashing down. She had a steady hand, and I, I was just the little sister.
And then this weekend at my mom’s birthday celebration (Happy Birthday Mom!) I realized that all these years later, it didn’t matter how many times she crushed me in the games we played, or just how un-cool I was compared to her. But that we both excelled differently, making each of us unique in our own way. And yes, she usually still dominates in Taboo, but I can kick her butt at taking pictures, jump out of a plane with ease before her, juggle free weights at the gym around her, and unbashfully sing and make a fool out of myself in front of any persons willing to listen.
Check out the concentration on that whopper of a daring move! Who’s got the steady hand now?!
