Drama For Days
It’s New Year’s Day, and my sister is making a racket around the house.
Me: “You’ve been noisy all morning. What are you doing?!”
Sister: “Looking for the calendar.”
Me: “What calendar?”
Sister: “[Aunt] always sends us calendars for Christmas every year. Remember? Where did we put them?”
Me: “Uh, [Sister]…”
Sister: “Where is yours? Did you put up yours yet?”
Me: “[Aunt] didn’t send us calendars this year. She and mom had that falling out, remember?”
Sister: “They did? When?!”
Me: “Remember, she didn’t come to Mom’s birthday party? She totally forgot. Mom and her still aren’t talking.”
Sister: “Probably because she didn’t have a calendar!”
We went out to get my obsessive sister a calendar later that day…
