Sister
Did you know I'm a celebrity!? Apparently, my older sister, Missy, used to tell her nieces and nephews (husband's side) a little something called "Mel Stories!" They were stories from our childhood that were so outrageous and entertaining that her nibblings would beg for them! Or maybe the stories just got them out of going to bed...who knows! Anyway! They heard so much about this "Mel" person, and I became so loved by all of the children that when I had the chance to see them (they forget that I already know all of them), they were really nervous and uncomfortable around me. I was some kind of hero or famous person! Untouchable and unapproachable! It was quite funny to experience celebrity status for a short time before they got bored and ran off.
I can always count on my sister to brag about me and talk me up to people she wants me to meet. It used to make me super uncomfortable because I didn't know if I would measure up to their expectations, but now I just love that we love each other so much!
