omg did you guys get ARRESTED last night???
for egging the Callister’s house?
I’m ashamed to call us sisters
Me
“arrested” is a strong word
Aurora Borealis
We were not arrested. We were taken to the station and given a stern warning. That’s all. You know Bert’s a big softy anyway.
But how did you know that? You’ve been at dance camp since Monday!
Dancing Queen Jules
You’re lucky you’re not 18 until next week
I called Mom this morning and she was really grumpy so I asked her what happened
I feel so bad!
Me
What could you POSSIBLY feel bad about?
Dancing Queen Jules
I feel bad for Mom that she’s annoyed!
And I feel bad for the Callisters!!!
I do not feel bad for you two
Why did you egg their house?
Me
JP made you cry, Jules. That’s not something we take lightly.
But also.
Aurora Borealis
Yeah, BUT ALSO.
You are fourteen. You’re not allowed to date anyone.
Dancing Queen Jules
It’s not JP’s parents’ fault he made me cry!
His mom is really nice
You guys shouldn’t have egged their house!
Me
Calm down, DQ. We cleaned it up. And we apologized.
Aurora Borealis
And we’re grounded forever.
Just don’t date right now. Focus on school and dance. Boys are dumb at 14 anyway.
Me
Boys at 16 are also pretty dumb.
Aurora Borealis
Fine. Teenage boys are dumb in general. There.
Dancing Queen Jules
But did you guys see the picture Cyrus sent to Mom of him and his new roommate in the dorms? Felix? Talk about DREAMY.
Me
JULIET. NO.
Dancing Queen Jules
Do you think all college boys look like that?
I love brother’s best friend romances
And doesn’t “Felix and Juliet” sound so good??
Aurora Borealis
NO JULIET. NO.
