Ugh, no kidding. Writing time and quiet, it's all I really want... and a steady income. If I could wrangle that, I'd be good.

Not really. She's not really paying attention either...

They are cool. Not disimilar to my family, just more of them...

I learned it from my dad. I always thought it was a Navy thing.

She knows Nessa has a big mouth. She's resigned to it, I think.

She has these little nicknames she calls people as the situation demands.

Thanks Page! I'm glad you like my dialogue. I think I'm lucky to have characters with such clear voices. They're pretty opinionated about how I write them and if it doesn't sound right, they nag until I fix it. Yes, I hear voices, Officer...;-)

The sisters totally ring true! My younger brother and I still kid each other like this. And we still argue over who did what to whom back in the day, and whose spanking was the worst. Mine always were, and don't let him tell you any differently! *G* Oh, and when he phones the house, our conversation always begins like this:

Me: Hello?
Him: (singing in an Elmer Fudd voice) Oh, Brunhilde, you're so wuvwy.
Me: (as Bugs Bunny) Yes, I know it; I can't help it!

We've done that since we were little kids. Some things never change!

The things I missed being an only child... *sigh* That's freakin' hilarious, I don't care who you are...
