TKAM Ch. 9

When I was younger, my favorite relative was my cousin, Shoshana (Shoshi, for short). She was born six weeks before me, so we were always really close as children. Our grandma used to call us "the bookends." Although she's older than me, I've always been the mature one, and our difference of views often caused problems. Aside from that, we had a lot in common. We both started dancing the same year, and we both played the flute. However, as we got older, we began to drift apart. I still have great memories of playing with her on the weekends at my grandparents' house.
