For My Sister Sarah Who Wrecked Her Car This Morning
I present to you this turtle:
And also this week’s episode of The Moth Podcast, which is about sibling roles and hearkens back to my sister Elizabeth’s second most famous quote*, “NOOOT MEEEEE.” The episode is also interesting because its about a girl who loses a lot of weight, which I have done, and also about misinterpreting your family’s good intentions and being way too emotional, which my sisters and I have developed into a high art.
(*The first most famous quote being, “When I grow up I think I want to be a German Shepherd,” and the third would be the day she was rhyming things aloud in PathMark and kept repeating curse words. True!)
I love my sisters.
