When I was very young, my big brother used to tell me that we had a sister living in Russia. I used to get so mad at him when he'd bring up "Svetlana" because I wanted to be our family's only girl child! He used to pretend to call her on the phone & have conversations with her & everything. I hated Svetlana! My brother somehow even got our mother to play along, too! I forget Svetlana's reasons for being in Russia as opposed to being in America with the rest of the family...boarding school, perhaps?
