a typical conversation with kaye.
i just got off the phone with my sister. standard fare... here's how it goes:
me: hi! so you went camping this weekend?
kaye: yeah, ben and i... we decided to go backpacking this weekend... have you ever been backpacking? well, ... there were flash floods and we were on a ridge, but it was good because ben and i... yadda yadda yadda... and he's stressed because of moving... i'm stressed out about graduating and school and blah blah blah... so in the end it was a good time. but, omigod, i'm so annoyed... i totally said she could come... it's not my responsibility to find her a ride.... but then she said "blah blah blah" so then i said "blah blah blah".... and i know that i'm the same but i'm different... so whatever, yeah. anyways, have you spoken to him recently? very strange, but you know there's a detachment there, blah blah blah... anyways, i'm at the grocery store, can i call you later? i'll just be an hour, so will you be home?
me: uh. yeah. okay, i guess.
kaye: okay bye!!!
when will little sisters have time to hear their big sisters out? *sigh*

i have one side convos with my lil sis too.
i figured you'd be able to relate quite well. it's not so much a conversation as it is a dramatic monologue. i only have enough time between sentences to fit an "uh-huh..." in.
