It's All Relative

On social media there are different settings and choices to make about which people see which posts. A person can create an-invitation only group, often with a theme (e.g., people who used to work at XYZ Camp).

Recently my older sister's classmate created a group for people who attended my elementary school. Most of the group's members are about my older sister's age, which is the same age (and elementary school) as D.'s older sister.  Someone posted a class picture from 1970 and there were both our sisters!

My sister told the group that her little sister had married a classmate's little brother.  Of course I knew that all along, but I always thought of it as marrying the brother of my older sister's classmate, not that we were the little siblings.

One of our sisters' classmates contacted me because she had remembered D.'s family, who had lived around the corner.  Of course she remembered us the little siblings of her classmates, the ones who were the same age as her youngest brother.  So odd.

I think of myself as a grown-up but this weekend I felt like a little sister.  It was kind of funny, but also very sweet.
