O ur life is made up of stories that mean something to us per- sonally. I remember arguments with my sister better than I remember, let’s say, the Korean War. It may be terrible to say but my sister’s opinion is more important to me than that of the entire North Korean army. Pearl and I once had an argument over the telephone that got so heated I hung up on her. I would never hang up on anyone but somehow you know that your sister will forgive you. A few days later I got a postcard from her that said, “You can’t hang up on a postcard.” Can
you beat that? SISTERS, SISTERS
There were never such devoted sisters Never had to have a chaperone, no sir I’m here to keep my eye on her
