My mom played a joke on me when I was young. She had picked up a new picture frame from the store. And as you know, new frames come with that fake picture in it, so you can see what a photo would look in it. Well I saw this and asked who the three little kids were in it. She said that they were my brothers and sisters that I had never met. I got all confused and excited that I now had a sister to play with. But then she said she was just joking...sigh...I never got that sister to play with.
