My sister and I were all jealous. We had the most fun holidays, the best competitions and costumes for the New Year and Birthdays, family table games in the evenings, nightmares, pirate parties at the fire, we knew most of all the puzzles and spells, and even built a real house on a tree with our parents. We were envious even of those who had branded jeans and the first in the area video magnetophone. But the crude piece of us, I remember, did not worry.
