 Sister translation service: 'We're fighting because...'

  • I asked a question about school. School is boring
  • I asked a question about something we're not talking about.
  • I asked why. Which is a step too far.
  • I can't find certain clothes. She doesn't like the insinuation.
  • She's wearing the top she didn't borrow.
  • She's getting a rabbit. I'm surprised.
  • The cat likes me better. (I’m not surprised.)
  • She enters the room. I leave the room. These facts are unrelated.
  • I used her name in a conversation. She does not approve.
  • I wrote this list. (Ok, this one’s kind of understandable…)

Younger sister translation service

You are so boring.
You are less cooperative than when I put the cat on a lead.

I'm going out.
I am going to walk to the edge of town/the skate park/until not even Google knows where I am.

I hate walking.
There's no signal here. Let's go inside instead.



It's not so much that she speaks an entirely different language- more that she really makes you work hard to talk. Like a personal trainer mixed with a ventriloquist.
