While we were in preschool, "Melissa" was a name unknown to Zoey. She heard everyone call me it. She saw me right it down. There a million obvious signs that my name was Melissa. Yet somehow, Zoey did not know tat I was named Melissa.
She called me Sissy because I am her sister. Whenever someone else called me "Sissy" Zoey blew up at them. Only Zoey could call me Sissy, anyone else was due for a death by toddler.
This was my favorite memory because to me, it's like a little inside joke between me and Zoey. It was our thing and no one else's. No one could break this bond between us. I hope we never, ever drift apart, but if we ever do we will always have Sissy. That is something we'll forever hold.
