Okay, it was a little annoying, but it was still really cool.

And just as I was realizing all this, I was graduating high school, and I was moving a thousand miles away, and I had this fear that I was losing my chance to be the older sister I knew I could be.

I had this ridiculous fear that my sister would forget me, or worse, that I hadn't done anything worth remembering for my sister yet.

But luckily around this time that I was graduating high school,

My sister was graduating middle school, so middle school prom was coming up, and my mom was working, and my mom was like, well, someone needs to go dress shopping with my sister, and I volunteered because I was like, this is my chance.

This is like our movie moment.

I'm going to find the perfect dress, the one that our mom would never pick because she doesn't have style and I do.

And it's going to blow my sister's mind, and this is going to be our big moment, and she'll forever tell all her friends about this incredible moment with me.

So I make it a big affair.

We're at Macy's.

We have like $100, we're in the mall.

And I'm like, this is gonna be it.

And I'm running around and I'm grabbing dresses and I'm holding them up and I'm getting these shrugs and these head shakes and I'm like, that's fine, I will not be thrown off.

I'm not gonna buy the dress that gets a shrug or a head shake, I need to blow my sister's mind.

So I'm running back and I'm grabbing more dresses, I'm holding them up, I'm getting shrugs, I'm getting head shakes, I'm running back, I'm getting more dresses.

Around dress number 15, I'm realizing this isn't going so well.

And I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Maybe I'm not as fashionable as I thought.

But the Macy's isn't that big, and we are running out of dresses.

So...
