Here is where I prove to you exactly how vain I am.
My duly gorgeous sister has this hair, this hair that I covet and yearn for, that curls in all the right ways, whose baby hairs cling to her forehead sweetly and don't stick straight up and kink like someone else's that I know (*cough ME), that looks glorious when tossed up in a messy bun thing, and hangs straight and long when told to do so. It doesn't need special attention and hasn't been touched by scissors in like a year but still, it manages to incite fits of jealousy on my part whenever we're together. I feel drawn to it. Yes, in a weird way. After spending the last 5 days with her, I'm convinced even more that she has the world's best hair and that I should probably give her a plaque or something, and also, that my hair sucks.
Sisterly competition.
There isn't any at this point in our lives. Except when she has the hair I want I guess, and then it seems to be more of an inappropriate longing on my end more than anything. It's not like we're knocking each other around fighting for rebounds on the basketball floor anymore, or brawling on her bed with slap fights and hair pulling (why we always fought on her bed, I'll never know). Thankfully, that ship sailed a long time ago. One of the best parts about being an adult is this developed sense of appreciation you have for the people you love and the relationships you've cultivated. Spending the better part of last week with my sister only reinforced that feeling for me.
I am covetous for her amber waves of grain. I am jealous of her glorious tresses, and happy that I don't have to hide her in the closet because she's so ugly. We all know families where one sister is vastly better looking than the other and luckily, I don't feel that extreme about it. I might always be some version of Slagathor deep inside, but neither of us is a troll. She does, however, win in the hair department hands down, that I will concede any day.
Most of all I'm just grateful she's my sister, better hair and all.
