A Family Affair
So, my sister has decided to start a blog of her own. I know this because she just called and had me help her attach a photo. Her first entry, hilarious!!! If you are interested in reading, hers can be found at www.thelifeofbeaner.blogspot.com
Don't ask me how the nickname beaner stuck, because I have no idea. I do remember in late grade school, early high school she was called "red" and I was "junior red." We both have red hair and I'm her younger sister, hence the junior. Although Junior Red doesn't sound that diabolical and you would think that I wouldn't mind continuing to be referred to as that, you're WRONG!! I can't stand it and for only one reason...
In fourth grade, my very first crush and only secret admirer, decided that when he no longer liked me it would be fun to alter the nickname. I soon became known as "Junior Red with the Big Forehead." This wonderful adaptation stuck all the way through eighth grade. To this day, when I see him that's all I think of. It has truly scarred me for life!
