My Sister

My kid sister is not the brightest light in the chandelier. Her stupidity is totally the family's fault, as we raised her to be a complete dumbass. You see, she was what you would call the "surprise" child. My older brother, younger brother and I are all 2 - 3 years apart in age. Then there is Katie, 8 years younger than my younger brother. We all babied her because we were all so much older than her. She didn't even learn to talk until she was about 2 years old for Gods sake! Someone was always around to do the thinking for her. As a result of this, she is a clueless 19 year old. Here's a great example of her ignorance:
About a year or so ago, my father had to be rushed to the hospital because his leg mysteriously swelled up and he began to run a temperature. He was hospitalized for several days with celluitis (sorry folks, I have no idea how to spell it). Anyway, it is basically an infection of the tissue and he had let it go so far that it had begun to spread into his bllod stream and without immediate medical attention could have infected his heart and he could have died. I know it sounds really serious, but becasue we caught it in time, it wasn't and he was just stuck in a hospital for almost a week (my mom was happy about that because he was out of her hair for a few days). Anyway, my dumbass sister was going around and telling people that her dad was in the hospital with syphilis (yeah, TOTALLY different ailment). I found out that was what she was telling people because that was what she told me. When I told her that was not what dad had, she simply responded, "Syphilis, Celluitis, same thing". I hung up with her and called my mom and told her that "the talk" with Katie was long overdue...
Katie is now in her first semester in college and I thank God everday that she decided to go to community college and continue to live with my parents. The world is just not ready for her.
