Leaves


"If you want to get 10 bucks come rake the leaves with me."
That's how it all started.
At first it was nice, no talking just scrape, cheee, scrape cheee sound of our rakes picking up leaves, then we got closer to being done and our cursed 'if you did something with your sister it will turn into a fight' togetherness came on. (i don't know if that sentence made since)
Everything I did was wrong.
"You cant rake that way it will take longer"
"No, you go rake over there!"
Finally I told her that since she did more I was going to give her 5 of my dollars, but she was getting real mean so I told her forget it. After a few seconds of her telling me that she didn't care that I was going to do that I went inside, and now I'm writing this.
I will probably end up giving her at least 3 dollars, but I just wonder why cant we ever get along.

That's exactly right, it's just one of those things. You go through stages where you are soooo different that it's hard to get along, and then you go through another stage where you do get along (but not for long), and then finally you reach the final stage where she lets you be you and you let her be her, and then everything's good forever. :-)
