Preposterous tales my sister told me when I was little:
1) that she invented the word “dudette”
2) if I ate a watermelon seed, it would grow in my belly
3) that she paid 1 penny more than me on the Nintendo we pooled our money to buy, so, technically, it belonged entirely to her

I do like how, when there’s leftover cake in the house, for a few days there’s an alternative set of rules where you feel like it’s just fine to have a slice of a cake after breakfast, a slice of cake after lunch, don’t mind if I do, cake lining the edges of the entire day
