My two older sisters have always had a lovehate relationship . One sister was the smart one and the other was the pretty one . That dynamic created lifelong resentment , even though I ' m pretty sure they are the ones who labeled themselves . Every Christmas , they would fight the good fight and attempt to get along for one night . Things usually deteriorated by the early evening . One year , they started with some remember when reminiscing about old times . It started innocently enough , but started to go south . Soon they were getting in little digs . Remember when we both had a candy bar and I broke mine in half and you cried because you thought I had twice as much as you ? Remember when you had that creepy boyfriend that used to stare at my ass when he came over ? And then shit got real . Remember when you were a slut in high school ? Remember when I loaned you money to pay for your abortion ?
