On iPods, Ayn Rand, and Being an Older Sister
I am at school, working on an extra-curricular that desperately needs to get done, or more accurately playing a fierce game of Trivial Pursuit (which I lost miserably) at a hectic office in which said extra-curricular will not be finished till very, very late. I had already sold my soul to my parents for an iPod earlier in the same day. My phone rings.
Me: Hello?
My sis: Hi, Eli7, I need another word for 'sufficient' for my college essay.
Me: Umm, why don't you check the thesaurus?
My sis: I already did.
Me: And you thought I would know more words than the dictionary because... ?
My phone rings again.
Me: Yeeees?
My bro: Hi, Eli7, so, can you compare Ayn Rand's philosophy on the role of the individual to Torah's philosophy for me?
Me: [insert Bro's name here], do you really think that I sit in school twiddling my thumbs just waiting for you to call me up for homework help?
My bro: Yes.
Some random person at office: You're so mean.

Yeah, it's not like you're doing anything productive anyway; you're just playing board games and procrastinating!
Some big sister you are!
While you weren't all that busy, I know how it is. (I'll be writing my sister's bat mitzvah speech this weekend.) Still, I love them and often find myself settling down by the phone and asking "Okay, what do you have so far?" It's nice to feel needed. Isn't it?
Now she's too busy to answer our comments...at least we can take solace in knowing that we're in good company ;)
