Four Sisters

Four sisters, three religions, one spiritualist. Four sisters, an accountant, actress, mom and manager None have the same ideas or ideologies Did they truly grow up in the same house just feet apart? One dresses like a hippie, annoying two of the others. One does not care if she matches or not, annoying the same two. Two make a decent living and could support themselves if they had to. One has never had a job outside her marriage home. One has been divorced five times, one has never been married. They would not be friends if they did not have the same parents. They meet once every three years to reminisce about their childhood. None agree on anything that happened, but they laugh and love it.

Wow. This is very good, Caren. I have wondered how people can grow up so differently in the same household, too.

My twin and I never remember any of the same things happening.

I wonder about this too. Different in nearly every way from one of my sisters. How in the world did we grow up in the same household and end up so far apart?

I think it is due to individuality and preferences, don't you?
