Sibling Signalling

(Both my younger sister and I identify as queer. She’s currently away at a college half an hour from the town where our mother and I live. While driving with my mom one evening, we see a rainbow.)

Me: “Hah, it’s coming from [Sister]! I feel like I need to call her now. ‘I saw your signal. What do you need?’”

(The next day, I’m driving to bring my sister back to town and mention the conversation to her.)

Sister: “Oh, that was probably a signal of my death. I’m no longer president of the GSA.”

Me: “Wait, when did this happen? Just yesterday?”

Sister: “Yeah, around six pm-ish.”

Me: “Holy s***, maybe it was you signaling!”
