The greatest gift our parents ever gave us was each other.

To My Little Sisters While I'm Away At College
Cadrien Livingston

Dear Little Sisters,

I know that I've been gone for a while now. You keep asking when I'm coming back from college and if I'll be home to visit soon. When I first left, you kept calling me every day to ask how college was going. I loved getting to hear your voice across the phone telling me how everything was going. I knew that I wouldn't miss home as much as I missed you. For the few times that I did come visit I always received a hug and, of course, you always wanted to tag along wherever I went. But, I didn't mind because while I was gone, I missed you and wanted to talk to you about all the things that had happened that I couldn't tell mom.

You were always eager to wrestle when I got back even though I always win! Questions like do you have a boyfriend, how is school, and what am I doing would always come up. Every time I come back, you get a little taller. I understood how much you missed me when you said you wanted me to come home because you were tired of being blamed for everything. I want you to know that I miss you very much and I wish I could see you grow up. I know that you wish I could make those special dates like your birthday or the Christmas concerts, but as much as skipping class is appealing, I can't even make an exception for you.

You are my best friend and even though I didn't want you when you first came along, I wouldn't change it for the world. While some say that you can't live with your enemy, you are the only enemy of mine that I wouldn't be able to live without. The greatest gift I ever got was you.

Sincerely,

Your Older Sibling That Likes To Boss You Around

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
