Because those I like to call "family" are such a major part of my life, it is now necessary for me to explain a little about who they are and how I relate to them.
To start with, my youngest sister "Candy Gremlin". She is the baby of the family. Still trapped in the early years of grade school, still gets all of her older sisters hand-me-downs. Her puppydog eyes can make the harshest person collapse and beg her to let them prove they can be good. One time we were at a bookstore and she found a stuffed animal. A giraffe only about six inches tall, with massive purple eyes. She held it up to her face, and widened her eyes until they were the same size. I never spend money. Not even on myself. She got that giraffe that day. She even gave it a name: "High". (Get it? It's a giraffe... really tall) anyway, imagine the look on my face when she left it in her room and her other sister said "c'mon CG, lets go get High". Yeah, you can laugh. Everyone else has.
Why, you ask, is her name Candy Gremlin? The girl is a sugar addict. You promise she can have more candy 'Tomorrow', she will wake you up at three and say "It's tomorrow!!! Can I have my candy yet?" She is very protective of her candy, and the best way to get on her good side is to give her some.
Just remember- don't feed her after midnight.
