I was reading through old blog posts and found myself amused by this little entry from April, 2007:
Which sister would you most want to be stranded on a desert island with, and why?
Carrie: Sarah, cause she would leave most of the seaweed and coconuts for me to eat.
Rachel: Beth, for sure. I wouldnt know what to do with myself, but with Beth there we would have huts and food and an irrigation system in no time.
Vivian: Claire, because we could sit together in the sun and she would read to me.
Claire: Sorry guys, but I’m gonna have to go with Carrie on this one. I mean, her medical skills have to be worth something, right?
Beth: Sarah. Who else is gonna watch my kids while I set up an irrigation system?
Sarah: can i pick all of you? ok if just one then Claire. she would be sensible about the whole thing.
I like that Claire wins, by virtue of her sensibleness and her reading in the sun skills. Also I think that if we repeated the survey now that Rachel would be a contender because who wouldn't like a neat, tiny person along?
ReplyDeletegreat picture. i think it reinforces my point nicely.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I thought, why didn't anyone say Viv? She's nice. But after I thought awhile I decided I don't want to be stuck on a desert island w/ Viv. She'd get all bored, want to set goals and research our options and stuff. Plus she'd always be complaining about how I don't read as well as Claire.
ReplyDeleteRachel now also has disaster plan skills - Here's what do we'll do in case of a 1) tidal wave, or 2) the volcano erupts
ReplyDeletei LOVE it that after staring at this picture for a full min. i still can't tell which sisters these are. the one on the left is carrie, i am pretty sure, but the one on the right...?
ReplyDeletei am also laughing at the idea of viv stuck on an island. and mom is totally right. and funny.
On the right is Claire.
