Chapter Nine
When Sisters Argue
How long is had been no one really knew. Perhaps it started when they were babies. Perhaps is started when they a little older than four. As long as someone outside of the family had known Josephine or Joan they never knew why the two sisters were so aggressive to the other.
Josephine had been born the first daughter of her family. Eagerly they welcomed her. Her older brothers, whose ages ranged from four to ten adored her and doted over her. They argued over who would hold her and help take care of her. That's how it was for a long time, until she came along.
Joan had come by surprise, but her family took it in stride to learn how live with an extra mouth to feed. Josephine was no longer the baby girl. She was pushed off and Joan received the attention.
Then when they were able to talk they squabbled with each other. Over the simplest things as well. Usually they managed to keep their mouths shut around their parents, but when they were alone it was a verbal fight. Then they heard that motherly order:
"Josephine Nadine Le Pew! Joan Faye Le Pew!" Their mother would call to give them the signal to stop.
Compared to their younger sisters who were twins, Josephine and Joan were like on and off. The opposite of each other: Josephine was into beauty and glamour which made her appear vain at times. Joan was into sports, particularly soccer and she hated wearing high heels and sparkles. Josephine wore high heels all the time and Joan who would wear a dress or skirt if it was a special occasion, always donned on jeans and her good sneakers.
Indeed it was chaotic to hear the raised voices from the young teenagers and it would only go on and on. It would tire them and they would apologize to only keep their family happy. Continually they argued and showed no switch in their behavior towards the other.
Would it change? That was up to them, but they gave no gesture to change.
