white snails

So how do you like having your sister home? This is a question my cousin asked me last night. I love my sister, she's a wonderful and charming person. We get along great these days (for the most part) and over the past few years have managed to become more than just siblings but friends. That being said, at times it's hard to live with her and not because we're so different. I believe it is a result of us being alike. 

We're both very opinionated, about everything. I will make a remark about a television show that she's watching and she'll state that I'm overly critical and pessimistic (which I usually am). She will do the same thing to me about a show I watch and when I mention that this is just another example of the pot calling the kettle black, she'll assert that it's completely different and that she has an open mind whereas I do not. 

We'll go back and forth on this for a few minutes and one of us will get annoyed and then stop talking. An hour later we'll be fine but it's during those moments that I am both frustrated and amused. Because I recognize so much of myself and my family in her. I guess it's inevitable that my personality should rub off on hers. I guess I just get a taste of what everyone else around me deals with on a regular basis. It's a wonder I have friends at all. Thank you all for putting up with my bull-headed ways. 

I do love her though and will never get tired of our back and forth. We all have our idiosyncrasies. My sister and I just seem to butt heads because we're both so passionate about ours.
