The Normal

upon coming home from church, i found this scribbled on scrap paper. i laughed and thought sarah was decidedly brilliant. all the credit goes to her...and she even might write a sequel, where i get to cool once more. B-)

~the normal~

My sister is normal in many ways because she takes normal showers, does normal school, and plays normal sports like tennis (if you can consider that a sport). I always thought she was normal sister too because she borrows my clothes, forgets to make her bed, and gets mad at me at least once a week.

It took me years, however, to discover that my sister is really not normal at all; she was just pretending. I also used to think Hannah Montana and Nancy Drew were cool until i found out that's who my sister was, except she is all put together and three times as amazing. Yeah, she's not normal at all.

I didn't ever think twice about her obsession with checking the mail every Wednesday or the fact that she worked as an "environmental engineer" and took frequent trips to the post office "for work reasons". Okay, you can call me dumb for not seeing the signs earlier, but you have to give me a break; I'm actually normal.

The material point is that I have a strangely unharmed sister using the postal service to do definitely abnormal things...and no one knows...except me. And I'm normal...

My sister is Nancy Drew
