Lyrical Logic

This piece I wrote in reflection of my sister’s 21st birthday. Yes, she did actually turn 21 on April 18th. I thought it would be a nice time to reflect on what it felt like for me, as the oldest sibling, to watch her turn 21.

That first drink,
Her first legal drink.
It is crazy to watch.
It's not that she's drinking,
The two of you have been drinking together for at least a year.
It's that you are at a restaurant. 
That they ID'd her. 
That she can. 

No one tells you watching your baby sister turn 21 makes you feel awfully old. But trust me, it does.
