hey little sister...

My kid sister will always be a kid. She still seems like a fifteen year old to me. I remember all of her birthday parties back then. She hated dolls and preferred to use them as dart boards. On her 7th birthday she was given a "BABY Alive " doll. The most popular doll on the market at the time that boasted "She can really eat food and she really goes to the bathroom too- just like a real baby."
Her new Birthday gift wasn't eating quite fast enough so she solved that with a nice hammer slam to the jaw. When our mother saw her in the yard wacking the new doll in the face, she asked what she was doing...and Missy replied " She works fine, she just eats faster this way."

She was a tomboy trouble maker back then and used to charge the boys in the neighborhood to sneak a peak at our father's PLAYBOY stash in the basement. When she wasn't throwing rocks at COP cars, kidnapping other kids from their cribs or lighting things on fire...she was an angel.

She's always good for a laugh

here she is at one of her summer birthday parties (on right)

Missy and I at Disneyworld, who cut her bangs in this formation? Poor kid always had either a Dorothy Hamill haircut or a bowl bang

we used to like to hang out in the backyard in our hammock

This is us on vacation in Hawaii. Our parents were attending business and we were left to explore on our own. Keep in mind she could always eat whatever she wanted and still weigh 75 lbs- (what's with my hair?)
