My sister, Jenn, is three years younger than I am. It’s a good gap in ages, and we’ve always been friends. But my competitive nature makes us rivals, too.
Jenn’s list of one-upsmanship (from my perspective)
- She’s taller.
- She wore pantyhose before I did.
- She had a boyfriend before I did.
- She drove first.
And now she’s published the first book. Questioning Walls Open, a collection of her poetry. came out this week. My book is still in MS form, sitting on a shelf, taunting me to revise and submit it. Perhaps this is the incentive I need. Jenn’s not going to be the only sister to publish a book.
