What's this I feel?

I think I'm feeling pity!

My mom was surprised the other day by an out-of-nowhere call from my sister. The reason that this is such a surprise is because this sister is my mother's only other daughter and she has two sons. Even though they live about five minutes from here, they never visit and they scarcely call. My poor mum gets more calls from my brother in Trinidad than my sister that's five minutes away.

So then my sister--who acts like a total hermit and ALWAYS has an excuse of why she couldn't come or why she didn't pick up the phone (even though she was most likely just screening her calls)--finally calls our mom to tell her that she and the kids are visiting on Sunday.

My mom is pleasantly surprised and she even cooks extra. Unfortunately, hours pass. And noone comes. My mom calls my sister to find out what happens and it turns out that my sister decided to get her hair done and her son went to some other person's house because they have a pool.

Now that's just RUDE!

I never knew my sis that I looked up to could be so inconsiderate. That was wrong, I could see the disappointment on my mom's face as she hung up the phone after talking to my sister.

Apparently, in an attempt to make it up, my sister is going to come over for a few minutes.

Yeah! Way to step up there!

I could tell that it hurts my mom, now she's upset and trying to pick a fight with me as I'm typing this. My mom is tired of having to explain why noone ever hears from my sister.

Oh...there she is...
