It truly is unfair when parents start comparing their two kids to one another, especially when I know that my sibling is no better than me... Well we both have a tendency to jump into one another's throat when the need arises. But at the same time, we do know how to stand for one another.. But at the point when we probably are staring daggers at each other, Mom has to come between and gush about how well she is working while I am wasting my time on the internet.
Oh The usual family dramas!!!
Yes, I am pouting here right now.. Because my sister has a sharp dirty tongue and she never lets an appreciation for me pass away without contradicting it. And I sit quietly now, knowing that if i speak, I'd probably start off a war.. Worse case scenario? When Dad is around. My father is known to be very calculative and rational about things, but when his heart is not at the ongoing conversation and (worse) when he happens to be pissed off, he tends to be very accusative at a random person however innocent he may be. He is hilarious without doubt, but all hilarity flies out the window when his mood is off, and at most times, his words sting more than a cobra.
Not that I am St. Teresa or something. I am an erroneous almost daily.. I do lots of mistakes and serve its punishment well.. Just this whole comparing thing hurts me, not anger..
Best or worst example for that matter, is the discussion about my and my sister's height. Shamefully I happen to be a few inches shorter than her.. Before it was my parents who noticed it, but now the entire world does.. And it does not help that they all have to remark or jibe about it. So I took basketball and I am trying but they make me seem like its my fault that I am not tall enough.. All this remarks on my height is know slowly killing me.. But I am absorbing it like some nuclear radiation, which will blast off some day.. I swear..
Till then, I need to go to the lo... :P
