Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for September 29, 2014

Don’t bother knocking. Just spit on the floor and swim under the door.

I hardly remember the last time I tried spying on my older brother in his room.

I didn’t have that problem with my sister (I was youngest) as she was really into what I saw as “grown-up things,” which was boring to me at the time! ;)

They are both getting used to having separate rooms.

I think Alix is just lonely. She’s used to being with her sister a lot and knowing what’s going on, so she misses that. Holly on the other hand, is enjoying her new privacy!

Neither Alix nor Holly seem to have any kind of regular social life outside family. I know Holly visits the mall with friends sometimes but otherwise she seems to be at home pretty much constantly. As for Alix, I don’t recall a single playmate other than Max. What’s up with that?

Alix is still trying to find things to annoy Holly and she is getting close to finding them.

My 2 girls, that are still at home, take turns sleeping in each other’s room. The youngest has a bunk bed in her room. The eldest has only a twin bed. So the youngest sleeps on the floor. That’s sisterly love. Too bad it’s not like that all day. :-)

Alix could have explained better by saying that she was looking for her pet grasshopper, or garter snake.

Caught in the act!

Alix is missing Holly and Holly is not missing Alix.My sister and I shared the same bed a lot with only two bedroom house. Our parents had a camper we had to stay in when company came then we slept in separate beds.

I shared a room with my younger sister until high school!! Then my brother got married and freed up a room for me!! I still miss talking at night and reading under the covers so I wouldn’t wake my little sister up !

Nice try Alix.

Busted.

I think she’s trying to spy on her.

Do you wanna build a snowman? XD
