Until I was about 9 years old I used to believe my younger sister would one day catch up with me and be may age. I remember I really wanted this to happen as she is 4 years younger than me and at that time she seemed more like a baby to me than a playdate. So I was really happye when we celebrated her birhtdays thinking "well, shes finally growing!"
