Extended description

"Though we were four years younger than Ariya, we'd watched teenagers before at an older cousin's house. They talked on the phone, they texted their boyfriends, they watched movies on DVDs. Sometimes they tidied up the house by wiping the table with a damp sponge after feeding us, removing the crumbs and ring spots from the bottom of our glasses. But we'd never seen any of them work like Ariya did."

Review by: Alexia Purdy on June 17, 2012 :
A great short story! I enjoyed the easy writing and the memoir style flow of the events. The writer brings you into the lives of a pair of twin girls as they observe the lives of their friends and one unfortunate soul whose life they could have easily had. Loved it. I look forward to reading more from this author.
