Sisters can be best friends too?

Tonight while giving the girls a bath, K-Bugg and I had a conversation that melted my heart. I have always played this game with Kellynn when she gets out of the bath tub - where I ask her to raise her arms so I can dry under them. Instead, I tickle her. Now that Ella is old enough to understand the game, I have started doing it with her. She loves it, and wants me to tickle her over and over again. Kellynn and I were laughing so hard as she kept raising her arms - yet would flinch and pull them back when she saw my "spiders" (wiggly fingers) closing in.

K-Bugg: Mom? Ella is the best little sister I could have.

NaeNae: You're right! You couldn't ask for a better little sister! And one day, she will be your best friend.

K-Bugg: (Starting to cry...) But, why?

NaeNae: Why are you crying? Don't you want her to be your best friend?

K-Bugg: No, because then she won't be my sister! I want her to stay my sister!

NaeNae: She will always be your sister...Just one day, she will be your best friend too!

Brooke had this to say:: That is too cute for words! When my sister was born I developed tics from the severity of my sibling rivalry, no joke, and then when she got older I just tried to beat her up.

We're buddies now though :); 9:35 PM

Kelly in NC had this to say:: And in my opinion there is nothing better than having a sister bestfriend. Kellynn won't understand that for a LONG time. i recall mom saying something similar to us...like "you'd better be nice to your sisters, you have them for life." It just never sank in then!; 8:35 PM

Sister + Best Friend = Best person to be on the receiving end of ALL your greatest practical jokes!; 8:58 AM
