My mother's daughter(s)

Not too long ago, I said to my sister, "You know, at one time in both of our lives.. we were like.. in the same place." I quickly added, "It's like.. when we were in Mommy's belly, we were in the same place. Don't you think that's kinda cool!?" To that, she rolled her eyes, told me I was being "creepy" and proceeded to walk away.

Whatever, I stand firm when I say that that fact is fascinating. I don't know, I just think that it's amazing how she and I were occupying the same cozy spot in my mom's uterus for like 9 months. That's a freakin' damn long stay! How is that NOT cool to think about? We came from the same place. We really have so much in common! We should have turned out kind of similar, right? Hahaha alright I know what you may be thinking.. But humor me.

I got into an argument with my mom today and out of anger I blurted that she preferred my sister to me. Of course she denied it, but uhmm HELLOOOO what mother wouldn't have? Hmmm.. Me thinks that that lingering feeling of inadequacy brings me to that conclusion, but I can't help but go with it. Oh well. I don't have very much time to write, the delicious mooncakes that we bought today are calling for me!
