My cousin

My cousin came home for vacation, and she never fails to make me feel twice her age, when I am four years her junior. All I really did was to advise her -- with matters pertaining to safety -- not to drive too fast, not to turn on the radio too loudly while driving, and not to have bottles of sweet drinks in the car (in case they spill). That got me the you-are-such-a-mom earful.

In the short time that my cousin was back, she banged the car up twice, and messed up the front gate, rendering it unable to perform its function of opening and closing. It was fun. And now that she is back in England, I will miss her loads.
