My little sister is six years younger than me. Because of this, I tend to always think that I’m right and she’s wrong. The truth of the matter is, however, that she has recommended a lot of things to me that turned out to be things that she was right about even though I made fun of her when she first suggested them.

For example, she was the one who told me that the Cookie Diet was a good weight loss program. I told her that this was ridiculous. How can you lose weight on a diet of cookies? She patiently explained to me that this wasn’t just about eating cookies. I tried it out and she was right.

She was also right when she told me that I’d probably really like some of the country music that she listens to if I’d give it half a chance. I made faces and said something about the annoying twang but she rapidly won me over by introducing me to songs with lyrics that I loved.

The great thing about my sister is that she never says “I told you so”. She also never stops recommending smart things to me even though I continue to be stubborn about allowing her to be right. What a great girl!
