A younger sister writes of the foibles between herself and her older sister, Lu-Anne Kay.
Lu-Anne also shares HER side of the story, and writes about Robyn.
Robyn~aged 10 1/2:
I love my sister, Lu-Anne, sometimes, but I also hate her at times.
She is a teenager now, and she can be very moody. One minute, she is sweet and very friendly towards me or my frineds, and the next, she is threatening to wring my neck for borrowing one of her pairs of earrings, which I usually end up putting on one of my dolls (I don't have pierced ears, and she does). Or she gets mad at me because I accidentally spilled sodapop on her Brittney Spears tourbook.
She has her problems with me, too (or so SHE says). She says I have the biggest mouth this side of Nashville, and she also says that I am always spying on her and her boyfriend, Gilles McGillicuddy, whenever he comes over to study. SHE says they study, but I, Robyn Charmaigne Renae Reaux, know better! Whenever Gilles comes over, they ALWAYS end up ~KISSING~!!
She also says that I like to read her books without asking her permission, and she says I am the biggest snoop since Harriet the Spy. Well, I CAN'T help it if I am curious...I ALWAYS gotta' see what she is up to, and besides, it's FUN spying on my big sister! LOL
She is always getting mad at me because she wishes I were more like my twin sister, Ronee'. She says Ronee' is a very well behaved kid, and Ronee' doesn't do HALF of the stuff I do! She says Ronee' is considerate; the ONLY thing she has to worry about when Ronee' comes over is hiding her rootbeer! (Ronee' LOVES rootbeer; if one isn't careful, she just may drink two or three cans in ONE sitting!)
I hate it whenever she brings Ronee' into the picture; it's like Ronee' is the good kid, and I am the DEVIL! WHY is she ALWAYS comparing me to Ronee'?? I am ROBYN, NOT Ronee'!! And I wish Lu-Anne would accept ME for ME!!
Lu-Anne~aged nearly 17:
Well, I guess the WORM has spoken. LIES!! All she has said so far has been LIES!!!
I can't STAND Robyn: she is a WHINY, nosy twerp, and she is nothing but a GIANT little pain in my BUTT!
She is ALWAYS foraging around in MY stuff, without asking me if SHE can look through MY things, and she is always SPYING on Gilles and me whenever he comes over; and then I get ratted on by her; and then I catch HELL from mom and dad! Robyn also has a very big mouth for her size; and I am sure she would bust right in two if she ever tried to keep a secret!
Her sister, Ronee', whenever she comes over, is NOTHING like Robyn: at LEAST, Ronee' has MANNERS! Ronee' is kind, thoughtful, and considerate, and she is well behaved (MOST of the time; I've seen her get into mischief a time or two, but NOTHING like Robyn!!); and the ONLY thing I have to ever worry about when Ronee' comes over is hiding my stash of rootbeer! Ronee' LOVES rootbeer; and she has been known to drink four cans at one sitting! Little PIG!! But then for the next two or three hours she dearly pays for it: she is sitting on the toilet, peeing it all out of her system and also is burping her fool head off! GROSS!
I guess Robyn is jealous of Ronee' because she is doing things that Robyn hasn't been able to, and she is doing well in her music career while Robyn is..well, a normal, everyday kid. She also doesn't apply herself in school, and she has gotten some bad marks already. I also think Robyn is jealous of her twin sister because she is physically handicapped, and she thinks Ronee' can get away with some things because of this. I know that isn't true , but this is how Robyn thinks.
Robyn~aged 10 1/2:
SEE??? What did I tell you?? Lu-Anne LOVES Ronee', but she HATES me! She is ALWAYS yelling her head off at me about something, and frankly, I am getting SICK and tired of it! WHEN did she start acting like my MOTHER??
Lu-Anne~aged nearly 17:
I don't know why Robyn is so gorked out about nothing. She is jealous of her twin sister, and she is also jealous of me because I am older, and more EXPERIENCED at life. She may think she knows a lot about life, but she really doesn't know DIDDLY-SQUAT. She is only a kid, and HOW much can a kid POSSIBLY know about LIFE??
The only reason I know more is because I have already been at the place where Robyn (and Ronee') are at now, and I know how little kids' minds operate. They may THINK they know a lot, but they really don't. (Well, Ronee' does, as she is a genius, but I am NOT getting into that now. This is about Robyn, NOT Ronee'! That is an entirely different story altogether, and it has NOTHING to do with how Robyn and I get along!) Their minds aren't as mature, and they have some years left to grow before they reach the point to where I am at now. And what I know now is mainly because of something called EXPERIENCE.
i love the verbal bantering between these two sisters...three, if you count ronee'...now what does ronee' have to say for herself? *BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRP* *SORry! couln't resist...ronee' musta got into another can of rootbeer LOL*
anyway, terrific opening to this story...can't wait to see what happens next
