Things I’ve learned from my teenage sister over the Easter break.

My sister Issy is an absolute crack-up. She also has it way more together than I did at her age and is taller and better-looking than me.
Luckily for my ego I don’t see her very often, but we got to do some sisterly bonding over the Easter break. We’re getting older and being nicer to each other, which means we listen to each other more. Here are some things I’ve learned from her over the Easter break.

• “It’s better to go shopping with Dad than Mum, because he doesn’t know enough about the things I put in the shopping trolley to say I don’t need them.”
• “Pantene shampoo and conditioner is shit because it gives you silicon build-up. That’s why we only use it to wash Abby.”
• “At school they teach us all this ‘Habits of Mind’ shit because they think we all have like, teenage depression, when really we’re all just chilling out on Facebook.”
• She showed me this YouTube video. Also  this one, this one and this one.
