Julie and I ran across this article from "the secret diary of William Clark" in Smithsonian Magazine a few years ago. Besides the fact that it STILL makes us laugh out loud (a lot!), we think that it aptly describes the interworkings of our complicated sisterly relationship. Guess who's Lewis, and who's Clark...?
If you are too lazy to go read the whole piece (it's not that long, I promise!), here are some of my favorite entries:
April 1, 1806—At breakfast Lewis showed me a letter he is sending to Jefferson. It closed with:
Respectfully,
Meriwether Lewis
The Clark and Lewis Expedition.
I bowed my head and said, "Thank you, captain."
Then he tapped the letterhead's date with his finger. "April Fool," he shouted, cackling so loudly he spooked two horses.
My two horses.
April 1805—An observation: There is no I in "team." There is an I in "Lewis." LewIs. LewIs. LewIs.

Today I tamed a squirrel and named him Lewis. Then I shot him. Delicious!
