W. asks:
|
|
"I have a strained relationship with my sister.
|
|
What are some things I can do to help repair it?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
I remember my dad and I went through this patch where we were both
|
|
pretty pissed off at each other, not that I remember why at this
|
|
point. But sharing is caring, right? So to keep things going, I'm
|
|
still dropping off cans of Chunk'n'Dunk soup for him, because it's
|
|
all he ever feels like eating anymore. Although that stuff is just
|
|
not very nutritious. But because I'm mad at him, I don't bother to
|
|
bring his favorite, the meatball-carrot stew one. Instead, I bring
|
|
him can after can of turkey-a-la-king. You ever try that one from
|
|
Chunk'n'Dunk? Not great. And I guess dad's thinking along the same
|
|
lines as me, because every time I come by he leaves me another pair
|
|
of snow tires he found. But I'm not selling tires any more by then,
|
|
so I don't want them. And he knows that, but he keeps on getting
|
|
tires anyhow.
|
|
|
|
And so we go on like this for weeks: I come by and put like 5 more
|
|
cans of turkey-a-la-king on his kitchen counter, and he stacks a
|
|
few more snow tires outside his door for me. And all this stuff is
|
|
piling higher and higher and higher, and we're gradually getting
|
|
madder and madder at each other. Until one day I go over there with
|
|
another box of cans, and he starts screaming and yelling about how
|
|
he hates turkey-a-la-king. And he gets so mad he accidentally
|
|
knocks over the stack of cans. And some falls on his head and he
|
|
falls over, and the rest of the cans come crashing down on him.
|
|
Pretty bad scene. So I go to help him up, but I slip and trip on a
|
|
can on the floor, and hit the ground hard too. And if you've ever
|
|
fallen on a pile of Chunk'n'Dunk turkey-a-la-king cans, you know
|
|
that hurts pretty bad.
|
|
|
|
So we're both groaning on the ground, and then there's this weird
|
|
sound by the front door. When I get out there to check it I find
|
|
that co-incidentally the big pile of snow tires out there has also
|
|
fallen over, and it's crushed some unlucky little gnome who must
|
|
have been milling around by there. Those things are so bad at
|
|
staying alive, I just can't believe it sometimes.
|
|
|
|
Anyways, if you're looking to patch things up with your sister, I
|
|
would say maybe don't do it with canned soup, or snow tires. It
|
|
sure didn't help us any. It just wasn't a good result for anyone,
|
|
especially for that gnome. Or if you have to go with soup, at least
|
|
stick with the meatball-carrot one. It's actually not bad.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for writing in. I hope that helps.
