The strange life of sisters

So today I got a call out of the blue from my sister Nikki. Well technically it started yesterday, when I got a call out of the blue telling me not to cook dinner because she was stopping by to give me some of her turkey dinner that she supposedly slaved all day to make. I guess today's call wasn't out of the blue then... more out of the purple! She basically just wanted to talk and stuff. She asked me if her food was good. I can't compliment her on her food, because it tastes normal to me. Its not cardboard, and its definately not gourmet cooking. After talking to her and walking off to class I started thinking about things. How just the other night I was saying that I missed the 'good ol days' and wish my sister would return to normal. Well I think our psychic connection might be stirring up again... (yes we have a psychic connection.. it happens to people who are close -.-) She's gone back to her ways of seeking recognition from me. I can hear it in her voice how she desperately wants me to praise her for her cooking. I suppose I am a mean big sister because I rarely compliment or praise her. But on the other hand, if I just gave compliments on the fly she wouldn't strive so hard to be good at something. Ahh the complexities of life! It did make me feel though that she still does care about what her older sister thinks, that she still wants the approval of her older sister. I don't think it would work in the case of her and Chris though. I don't think I could possibly seperate them after all they have done together. No, the closest thing I can get to is to encourage her to do something better with her life other than be a housewife. I guess Mom's approach of completely backing off isn't quite the right way. :P I have to do it slowly, but I want to steer her in the right direction before she ruins her life. I don't want my sister to ruin her life, I care about her enough to not wish major harm on her.
