I used to wonder what it feels like to have a big sister, but after seeing this side of Madeline whom I regard as one, I might reconsider. Then again, she is the type who really likes poking her nose on matters like this. The only thing that keeps me on my toes whenever she does so, however, is the fact that she'd toy with me afterwards, teasing me and making me all flushed by spouting out embarrassing and nonsensical things. Even then, though, I don't feel that bad when she does it and her company is more than welcomed.
