And We Mustn't Forget

In the midst of birth order discussions, the plight of the middle sister:

Text from youngest sister: What time are you leaving?

Call from oldest sister: Please get the flowers before the shop closes at 2.

Call from younger sister: Make sure the kids are quiet when we arrive at the church.

Call from younger sister: We did half of what you said you would do. So now we need you to do this (long list).

Email from oldest sister: Don't forget to get the flowers. The shop closes at 2.

Email from older sister (cc'ing the world): Supplies are at the church. These are the lies told so far (long list). Remember to get the flowers. The shop closes at 2.

Text from younger sister: Are you on the way yet?

Call from younger sister: Ok, are you on the way? Make sure the kids are quiet. We've left you a to-do list.

Call from older sister: We're heading to the church to drop off a projector. The flower shop closes in 10 minutes. Did you get the flowers?

It's a miracle that my middle sister didn't yell at us while she was standing in line at the flower shop, 30 minutes before it closed!
