I know, in theory, that Allie, my youngest sister, has grown up and is finishing her first year of college, but at the same time, I often catch myself thinking of her as younger than she is.
I read this post from her blog and thought, "She's right. That picture doesn't look much like her. Her hair seems different. It's probably not wise of her to post a picture of her ID on-line. Wait, why is her ID from California? That doesn't make any... Oh. That's a fake ID. I get it. She's not even being particularly sly about it in the post, but it went right over my head. I'm dumb."
This post is followed by one where she writes, "I went to church this morning and the sermon was great as usual but it really got me thinking." I can imagine Mom reading Allie's blog and being unhappy about the fake ID but somewhat comforted by the fact that Allie goes to church every week. "I guess more than anything I left church with a question. How do you stop negative thoughts, feelings, and actions from getting to your heart and corrupting it? This question is supposedly going to be answered in the next two weeks. The problem with that is I will be out of town."
