I LUV my sisters

Sisters (siblings, not nuns) tend to be very, VERY different. I received this email avec 25 things women do not know (basically courses in everyday living, set by men). And obviously I forward it to them. The elder answered back saying she did not hear about them and proceeded to talk about Italy and some coming wedding. The younger, VERY tongue in cheek answered back, saying she DID hear about them, and gave proof and answers. Amazing.
