My First Best Friend
When my parents were married, my dad got another sister in my aunt Rachelle. Aunt Rachelle is really cool!
Hello, everyone!
Today, I want to talk about my most important job: being a big brother. Harlow might be getting older, but she’s still pretty little, so it’s my job to teach her all the important things and to keep her safe when she gets scared on rides at Disneyland. Sometimes we don’t agree on everything — like when I wanted her to be a scary vampire bat for Halloween but Harlow wanted to be Moana instead. But even though we don’t always get along, I love her so much. She’s my best friend! Did you knowmy dad is a brother, too? His sister is my aunt Maggie, and she’s one of the hardest-working people ever. She and her wife started a company in New York City called City CoPilot. Because Aunt Maggie lives all the way in New York, we don’t get to see her all the time, but it’s always fun when she comes to visit. She’s nice and brave and really fun. Aunt Maggie never does anything half-speed and she’s an incredible athlete. I wish she lived closer so she could teach me her basketball skills. If you need a hand, she’s the one you should go to. She also sends us really awesome presents at Christmastime!
She’s lived in Argentina and Colombia, which I learned are really far away. Aunt Rachelle moved back to California a few years ago, and today she’s a lawyer. In fact, Aunt Rachelle and my dad went to law school together. One of the best things about her is that she convinced my mom to go on a second date with my dad. My mom really didn’t like lawyers —they’re not always as nice as the lawyers who work at our firm— but Aunt Rachelle put in a good word for my dad because she knew how nice he is. It’s a good thing she did, too! Harlow and I might not be here if it wasn’t for Aunt Rachelle.
Sisters can be really annoying sometimes, but I guess they can be pretty cool, too. I’m really glad I get to be Harlow’s big brother.
