Why do you get married over and over again?

My sister is almost four years younger than me.

So I think that pretty much I was not delighted for there to be another child in the house.

I think I remember when my mother was pregnant with my sister.

I had a cold, like a very bad cold.

And I was complaining because my mother wouldn't let me go out and play and she wouldn't let any children come in the house because they would get my cold.

And she said, but soon you'll have a sister.

And then you will always have someone to play with because they'll be living in the house.

And so I believe I was disappointed when my mother had a baby instead of a four-year-old child.

I would go in the room with the baby and she couldn't talk.

She couldn't do anything.

She's just a baby.

So...

I think that if you ask my sister, which I'm hoping you won't, that I was not a very nice older sister.

Like, I feel like I would say, no, you can't come with us.

No, you can't, you know.

No.

Well, here's the thing.

It's very interesting because I think it was last year she got this big award from Harvard Business School.

and she called me and said, I'm getting this, I forget what it's called, and it's a very big thing, and I'm chartering a plane, and I want you and her two sisters and one of her brothers-in-law and her partner, her business partner, we're going to go up for the day so you can see me get this award.
