252. Tale of Two Sisters

Today Katie walked into a tattoo palor and convinced a tattoo artist to give her an elaborate temporary tattoo. Her attitude says everything - all confidence and sass. We will be lucky if she waits until the legal age of 18 to get her first tattoo.

Abbey followed her big sister with no intent of getting a tattoo, but didn't know how to say "no" to the women's generous offer, so she sat still and said nothing. After the artist finished, Abbey thanked her politely, ran up to me in tears, and asked me to remove it as quickly as possible.

It is hard to comprehend how two sisters could be so different.
