Siblings


My middle sister has lost alot of weight. She worked hard and looks great. However, it seems to have sparked a little sibling rivalry in my oldest (by 18 months) sister. Ok, I am sure Mid-sis started it by challenging her at Thanksgiving to bring a scale and see who could lose more by Christmas (a challenge that never played out by the way). Mid-sis had bought a mini trampoline, SO, Older decided she needed one. Mis-sis told her - do you think you need to since you just had knee surgery and all? - HA - NOW she was definitely buying it. SOO, Older bought the mini trampoline causing Mid-sis to now tell her - well, you need someone to help you put it together. Its hard. You can't do it alone. - Anyone see where this is going? SOOO Older decided to put it together, alone.

Now, the mini trampoline comes assembled but folded in half like a clam. The idea is to push the opposite sides away from each other pulling the tension tight and popping it into place. Older decided she could do this by putting one end under her couch and crouching and placing her body on the other side. Might have worked too, had the other end not slipped out from under the couch knocking Older in the head, splitting it open requiring super glue, and knocking her loopy for a few minutes.

Score: Mid-sis - 1 Older - 0 (Ultimate winner - ME for knowing better and getting to laugh at both of them)
