I've never experienced it, I suppose because of the significant difference in age between myself and my older sisters, and the even more significant difference in gender.
I have, however, witnessed such rivlary. Close up. And personal. The latest manifestation is in process.
Julie's road towards marital bliss is well documented. I am not revealing any secrets when I remind you that she and Kirk lived together, then got engaged, then bought a house, then got married. Slightly unorthodoxed, but all's fair in love and finance.
Apparently, Sara was paying close attention to that series of events. Her recent engagement was preceded by the purchase of a house with her boyfriend AND her boyfriend's brother. Not satisfied with this simple act of "one upmanship," Sara has elected to immediately follow her engagement with a trial separation, as she and Amy jet off to Paris.
Is this some sort of perverse reverse Benjamin Button timeline/time warp, or just a long lost Quaker tradition?
Oh well, lots of luck to the happy couple, and the future brother-in-law.
(I wonder what Amy's engagement will be like............)
Bon voyage, Amy & Sara.
Vive la France!
I just think of it as a last blast of fun before the marriage yoke is placed on Sara & John's neck. :)
ReplyDeleteParis will NEVER BE THE SAME! I believe that the French may even begin to like us after they have experienced the personailities of Sara and Amy.
Love, Mema
