I'm NOT Her SISTER

My dad is away for the day, and my mom is staying home alone.  It's not such a big deal because she lives just down the hill from us, and we can help her with anything she might need while he's gone.  A few minutes ago, I called her on the phone to see how things were going; and at the end of the conversation, she was thanking me profusely for calling.  "You're a wonderful sister," she gushed, "One of the best!"

Sister?  SISTER?

Of course I didn't correct her.  The days of correcting are long gone.

Oh, well.  Just another turn of the knife in my heart...
