I have top five best moments of my life. Some might interest you while some - you might not even give a dying shit about them.

Number five was when my parents adopted Derek Van Der Woodson. I still remember that day very clearly. I was five years old back then and I wasn't particularly thrilled to get an older sibling because at that time I wanted to be the only child and recieve more love from my parents, but after Derek (who was six years old) came to the house, it was as if he had always belonged here. He just...fit.

It didn't take long for us to get along like nachos and salsa dips. We were always attached to the hip until we became teenagers and realized that we should go out and make other friends because we couldn't just be friends with each other. While Derek was like the charm of the school and made hundreds of friends, it was a complete fail on my part. And I was okay with that.

Number four was when my parents adopted the triplets - Logan, Norman and William. They were the cutest little brothers anyone would want - until they grew up. 

Number three was when I bought my parrot, Lucy. That little shit could fucking mimick every little thing I said to him or her. Sorry, I still haven't been able to figure out which gender my parrot is. I don't have much time to google stupid little things like that. His (or her) name was actually given by William (the youngest triplet) when he heard her chanting 'Lucy' while he was watching The Chronicles of Narnia.

Even though we are not related, all five of us have one thing in common - wierdness.

If you are finally relieved that that's the only number of siblings I have then you are wrong. I have a big sister who is bigger than Derek by two years. Jayne Van Der Woodson. And here's some little insight on how our big sister is - she is a bitch. 

So, it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you that number two best moment of my life was when I finally became close to my sister because trust me - it isn't an easy task. Derek still isn't used to her bitchiness and maybe that's the reason why he hates her and avoids speaking to her at all costs. To be honest, he was actually quite excited on the day when she left for college. The triplets and me though, were devastated. We were quite close to her after all.

I will keep number one to myself for now because it isn't exactly a nice memory to go through.

"Honey, are you sure you want to go to school today?" I turned my body so that I was facing the door where my dad was currently standing looking like a supermodel. 

Being sleep deprived, I simply nodded my head but it looked so unconvincing that my dad let out a soft chuckle. "It's okay if you want to stay in. I have a day off and I will probably be bored to death if I stay alone so you can keep me company. And...have a little chat with me."

The last sentence sounded funny because he was trying to act like the dad who would beat up anyone who made his little daughter cry. A small smile made its way to my lips and I nodded my head again. 

Dad said something to me but I couldn't hear it because I was already falling back to sleep.

I was actually quite happy that I didn't have to go to school today. If I wasn't so sleepy, I would have probably done a little happy dance in front of the mirror but since I was sleepy I decided to just fall back asleep.
