coming of age.

Jan 19, 2006 22:48


In a matter of days, if not hours, everything can change.

But, change in essence, is a good thing right? I mean, though it's a little different to start with, we all need some form change, to I guess, move on in our lives. To help us deal with time passing us by? To help us, grow... *wow* old?

Our new little addition to the family has really opened my eyes.
For I, am no longer the little one anymore. Though, I suppose in the eyes of my parents and siblings, there will be instances in my life, when they'll still treat me as a baby, as their little one i.e. When I finally bring a guy home. I can just imagine it now, the 5, no 6 Protectors (including Ellie), all sitting in the loungerroom... reading the paper... watching tv... one by one, giving the poor guy death stares, mouthing death threats...
"touch our daughter and I'll kill you"
"touch our little sister, and you'd wish you were never born"
"touch my aunty, and I'll let my mum... and she'll kick your bum-bum"
Blah! Save me now!!

But seriously, from now on... I'm not.

I guess, the thought of that, losing my title, kinda scared me at first. I mean, I'm so use to being the youngest, use to having people looking after me.
Now, I'm the older one. Ellie will always see me, as her aunt. Someone, who's meant to know what she's doing. Someone, who's going to clean her dirty nappies *eww*!!! And someone, who's going to take care of her.

Phwoar. Growing up, eh?

I guess there's another, upside? With Ellie here, dad can be completely overprotective of HER, and not me! YAY! (in a way).
I mean, I can understand him being overprotective, but sometimes it gets to the point where I'm internally screaming, "Blah!! I'm 16!!! NOT a little child!!". But I guess, with the new bub here, I can shift that 'overprotective-ness' over to her! Wow! Finally.

So... I officially hand over, the title of THE baby of the family to Ellie! *cries* *smiles*
++ I'll make it even more "official" when I give her, my FIRST teddy bear, which my sister gave to me! XD ++

So, that's it from me.
Pointless to you? Probably.
A weird 'totally' realisation for me? Definitely.
Signs of little Annie growing up? Meh. Just might be.

WHOA!!!

++annie-o!

growing up, baby, annie
