So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

My Sister's Keeper
Saturday. 3.20.10 7:46 pm
�Where is your sister?� asked Mother once Anna was dry, had finished dancing, and was finally dressed. Anna finished tying the long laces on her Converse sneakers. Converse sneakers, pinnacles of sneaker-design, were flat at the ends, and thus facilitated standing on one�s toes at all times. En pointe! Flat! En pointe! Flat! En pointe! Flat! �Stop that!� said Mother, who was trying to run a hairbrush through Anna�s hair.
�Ow,� said Anna. �Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.�
�Where is your sister?� Mother asked again. Anna shrugged. Mother was not placated by this response. She wanted her sister found, and wanted Anna to find her.
Much to Anna�s luck, the phone rang. Mother picked up the phone and Anna listened very carefully. It was the father of the next-door-neighbors. �Your daughter Elizabeth is here,� he said, �we wanted to ask if it was all right for her to sleep over tonight.�
Mother seemed hesitant. �That sounds fine,� she answered, �can I talk to her?�
�She�s out swimming at the moment, would you like me to go and get her?� he answered.
Mother responded that it wasn�t necessary and hung up the phone.
�Well, I was going to go to the bank,� she said. �Do you want to go next door and play with your sister, or do you want to go to the bank with me?�
Anna didn�t have to think very hard about that. Sisters were sisters, but The Bank had a Candy Machine.

That kind of makes me think of, when we were kids, my younger siblings and I would decide which fast food chain we wanted to get lunch from based upon what toy they were offering in the kid's meal.

Kids

I thought you were talking about the movie My Sister's Keeper... or maybe you are and I must've not remembered the scene.

^could be from the book. *shrug*

i liked this particular event. perhaps since i work at a bank, i can get kids to like me if i give them lots of candy.

yeah, whenever anyone asks "Where is your sister?" or "Where is your brother?" it makes me think of Cain and Abel and Cain responding to God, "Am I my brother's keeper?" I'm guessing that that was the same reference the author was making in 'My Sister's Keeper'. So this is a story I've been making up, but the theme of this part of the story made me think of that line.
