EXCERPT FROM RANTALICIOUS: SPRING HAS SPRUNG (RANTALICIOUS, THRIFTY EBOOK SERIES)
Behind the Magic 8 Ball
I was once told that siblings are like branches that grow on a singular tree; they may come from the same tree or root, which is the mother, but still the branches grow in different directions.
Who did I hear this from? My mother, who had heard it from her own. I suppose she probably just listened at first, and then when she had my brother and me, I'm sure she could see the wisdom in her mother's words ...
"Now, Alisa," my brother said while lying in his bed, "remember that you've got to work hard this year. This year is going to count." He raised his eyebrows as I fidgeted in place.
One would think this would be an older brother telling his younger sister during her sophomore or junior year of high school to crack down on studying, because this is a year that would matter to get into a good college.
And that would be only half right.
I wasn't starting my sophomore or junior year; I was beginning sixth grade and my brother was still in Junior High. The true part of it: he did mention college.
"How do you suppose you're going to get into a good college?" he questioned me as he lay in his bed, text books sprawled all around him.
I thought about it for a moment, working on a correct visualization of what a college was, yet my mind kept wandering to the elevator that wasn't working in my Barbie Townhouse (darn that elevator, it never worked!); I was baffled.
My brother just stared at me. "You know, Alisa, getting into a good college is important," he said.
I didn't bother to ask him why. After all, we had gone through this same, identical conversation since three years beforehand, with some variations, of course ...
