One Email From My Sister (in what is absolutely sure to NOT be an ongoing series)

Family, , , , , ,

Going through old sibling emails, I managed to find a hilarious one written by my sister in 2006. You have no idea how much of a diamond in the rough this is (unless you know Steph. Then you know). My sister has been funny only a handful of times in her life– and here is one of the funniest, captured in writing.

But when I showed Steph the email (with some great side commentary added in by yours truly), she wouldn’t let me post it. Even though almost 10 years have passed since it was written.

Below is what was left once I got rid of everything she didn’t approve of. Why even bother posting this? Because the end result just so beautifully illustrative of Steph.

Emails From My Brothers #6: If You’ve Never Been to Nordstrom With Dad…

Family, , , , , ,

(Part of the Emails From My Brothers series)

The following sibling email exchange takes place about a year ago, while Jeremy was a grad student living at home with my parents. For reference (if you’re new here, or if you’re like me and just never remember anything and therefore appreciate a helpful glossary):

Jeremy = younger brother
Zack = youngEST brother
Andrew = brother in law
Steph = older sister

Note that Steph is included on this email chain but contributes absolutely nothing. This is typical.

The emails/replies are posted in order. Start with this one at the top and just scroll down.

My Sister is My Biggest Fan

Family, ,

My mom and dad are in town, and tonight the whole family went to dinner.

Dad: “I’ve been sharing your blog posts on Facebook. The ones I really like.”
Me: “I know, thanks! I see you’ve been sharing a ton of them!”
Steph: “I’ve been sharing them, too. The ones that make me laugh.”
Me: “You’ve shared like one.”
Steph: “No, like two. The two that made me laugh.”
Me: “Great. Thanks….”
Steph: “Well, you know what I mean– the ones that make me actually laugh. Like out loud.”
Me: “This conversation in itself is going to be a post.”
Steph: “Alright. Maybe I’ll share it.”
