From My View- Tess Ross
Romance is the greatest thing in the world. If you have romance in your life, you are happy. That's what my dad says. I totally agree. After all, it's so obvious that he and my mom were meant for each other, even if it took a while for them to realize it.
My parents had a rough "end of the beginning," as they both say. They mean the end of their life away from each other and the beginning of their life together.
My dad had to leave Chicago, where my parents lived. My mom stayed for some crazy reason. After a few weeks of my dad being gone, my mom found out that she was pregnant. She called my dad and told him not to come. I think that she was being dumb. She could have raised a baby alone, but it's clear that they are soul mates.
Any way, my mom says, that for the first time in her life, my dad respected her wishes and didn't come. That made her upset at first, but she was to proud to call him and tell him to come.
My mom got an ultrasound and found out she was going to have twins- me and my sister, Kate.
My mom had us, and tried to raise us alone. Then on her birthday, my dad sent her some animal crackers. It was a tradition they had, they would give each other a box of animal crackers on every occasion.
My mom broke down, and flew out to Seattle. When she got to my dad's house, she flew into his arms and they kissed.
Isn't it romantic? I think it is soooo sweet. It's a classic love story. My sister, Kate thinks that it's immoral to have sex before marriage. She's totally ashamed to be a love child.
Personally, I don't really care. I think it's great. We grew up normally, except we are older than our parents' wedding anniversary. We aren't any different. I think it's wonderful to be a love child. After all, we DID bring our parents together.
Kate is soooo conservative. She thinks that my mom was stupid for telling my dad not to go to Chicago. She says that they didn't have to get back together or any thing. My mom would just have better "financial support."
PLEASE! It was destiny. My parents would eventually end up back together, and live happily ever after.
I don't know what my sister has against love. She isn't into boys, and doesn't go to any of the parties she's invited to, because she says that she never wants to fall in love.
My parents have talked to her, and said that there is nothing wrong with falling in love. The said just make sure that she is responsible.
Kate just doesn't listen. She doesn't want to get hurt. Any time I invite a boy over to our house, she goes and sees a movie or something, so she doesn't have to be around him. She's such a baby.
Kate and I are so different. My role model is Britney Spears. I mean, she is SO down to earth, unlike some other celebrities, who just bask in the spotlight. Kate looks up to her teacher, Ms. Clarance, who Kate says was a good teacher and had morals. Come on, if Kate had to pick a teacher, why Ms.Clarance? That lady is evil! She gave the most detentions and homework. No one liked her- except for Kate. It figures.
Kate doesn't care about any thing or any one except for two things: her dog, Rose and horses. Okay, so Rose is really the family dog, but Kate is incredibly close to her. Rose even sleeps in Kate's room- by choice! Kate comes home from school and Rose is sitting there, by the front door, waiting. Then she and Rose go upstairs to their room, and Kate does her homework.
Kate loves horses a lot. She knows everything about them. I know she would love to own a horse, but knows better than to ask. At the very least, she wishes she could take riding lessons. She never told anyone, but it IS kind of obvious.
I, on the other hand, care about lots of things. I love my family (which Kate couldn't care LESS about), my friends, boys (If you ever see Kate with one, call the press), and school.
h that's another thing, Kate cares way to much about school. At the end of third grade, she went straight to fifth (yes, she is a grade ahead of me). It's so annoying. I mean, I work hard at grades; I'm an A-B student, and I've always gotten a GPA of 3.43 to 3.86.
Kate has never gotten less than a 3.98. That was the first quarter after she skipped fourth grade. Other than that she's always gotten a 4.0. She has no social life what so ever.
Okay, I need to stop picking my sister apart. She IS my sister, even though I hate her at times. I said I love my family, unlike Kate, so I'm not going to sink to her level.
Kate has a way with words. She can make an insult pretty much feel like someone shot you in the heart. She actually has made my dad cry when she said something to him. My dad hasn't cried since his mother died, which was more than twenty years ago. He didn't even cry when my mom told him not to go to Chicago. Then, Kate, his own daughter says, "I was am an irresponsible mistake of yours," to him, and then he cries, right in front of her. She never did apologize for that. No one in our house talked to each other for the next two days, because my parents thought that I felt that way to. I feel just the opposite of that. When they found out, they felt a whole lot better.
They never were AS happy after Kate said that. My dad doesn't ever laugh in front of her any more, and Kate is the only one my mom hasn't told that she's pregnant again. My parents have been trying to figure out how to tell her for the past month. They told me as soon as they found out, which was over two months ago. I guess I didn't keep my promise of not picking my sister apart. It's hard not to, though.
I can't wait for my mom to have the baby. It'll be so fun to help out and stuff. I love babies. They are soooo cute, all the time, even when they are crying. I can't wait! I don't know how to express how excited I am.
Well, that's MY view on my family. I can only imagine how conflicting Kate's view is.
