Is it the same with YOUR older and younger sisters? Are your sisters among the very few people that you treasure like none other? Do you consider your sisters “your lifelong glue”? Do you, like me, consider your younger and older sisters your Sanity Voice? The only people in the world that you truly trust, that you would, without question:
- Consider allowing them to use your womb for 9 months for, in case they needed a warm spot for their egg to hatch and theirs wasn’t in working order.
- Ensure that they’re on the (extremely) short list of people who you’d give a kidney to without question—just tell me where to be and when, and tell them to make the scar cute.
- Take a bullet for them (preferably in the arm or leg)
- Bury a body for them, without question.
And then, does your sister send you an e-mail regarding your cooking skills, like this:

Awwwwww... I totally understand the whole non-recipe thing... but the thing is I DON'T WANT YOUR RECIPES. Seriously... Please do not contribute a recipe ever. I just want your memories and stories.

Dear fellow middle sisters: Lord almighty, there must be a 7-layer dip out there somewhere I can fake my sisters out with…(The italics and bolding are my own--I know what she was thinking--she's my sister, for God's Sake. Thank you, Lord, for my sisters!)

Oh no you didn't. You're going there are you? Well bring it on!
Dear LITTLE SISTERS of America:
Is it the same with YOUR older sisters? Are your sisters among the very few people that you adore like none other? Do you, like me, consider your older sisters your venti caramel macchiato from Starbucks: an extravagant treat, guaranteed to make you smile and give you a gentle wake-up call? Do you love your sisters like your favorite pair of sweatpants: always a comfy, perfect fit, and always there to cover your butt? Did you spend nine months of pregnancy attempting to get excited about the possibility of having a boy but secretly being completely unable to fathom the idea of Amanda getting through life without a sister? Are your older sisters the only people in the world you truly trust, that you would without question:
§ Consider allowing them to use your Senseo pod coffeemaker for nine months in case they need a warm spot for their caffeine prep and theirs wasn't in working order.
§ Ensure that they're on the (extremely) short list of people who you'd give a heart to. (Yeah that might sound sappy but really it would be too hard to live without my coffeemaker anyway. Just take the stupid heart and put me out of my misery.)
§ Throw yourself in front of a train for (preferably a small, soft train).
§ Dig up that body and move it elsewhere should it become entirely necessary.
And then do you send your sister an email begging her to join in on the cookblog because, seriously, what fun would a Nelson SISTERS' non-cooking cookblog be without one of the Nelson sisters anyway? Oh Lord, who else can make me laugh so loud and hard that I wake up the baby every few minutes? (Oh and I googled for photos of seven layer dip and most of them just ain't that attractive… I'll start searching for pretty chicken gizzards next.) Thank you for my sisters!
