826CHI Volunteer Photo Book: My World Project - Part 1: OPPOSITES ATTACK
OPPOSITES ATTACK, Photo and Caption by Reina Delgado
Being a 16-year/-old aunt can be a lot of work, especially the minute you turn around and see this. I have eight nephews and four nieces. So, a lot of drama goes on around my house when we have family reunions.
My nieces Lupita and Marilu are always fighting about the littlest things. They fight over the last chip, who runs the fastest, and even over friends. “He’s my friend!” one screams. “No, he’s my best friend,” the other screeches.
I can never get them to agree. They’re like opposites of each other. If one says, “I like Barbies,” the other will say she likes Trans-formers. If one says she likes burgers, the other says she likes hotdogs. If one says she likes Mexican music, the other says she likes hip-hop. And the song goes on: “I’m right; you’re wrong!”... “No, uh uh”... “Yeah, uh huh!” BOOM-BAM-BAM-BAM!
Even though my family may not be perfect, it’s my family – perfect for me.
