This one time my little sister went to be a show-off doctor in Africa and I tried to message her. As it turns out, I was sending messages to the wrong number, but I didn’t let her lack of response thwart my efforts at maintaining our sisterness.

September 24, 2014 Sorry I haven’t texted for a while. This unknown foreign number keeps calling me, so I’ve put my phone on silent.
September 29, 2014 Mum says you’ve been in contact. I don’t know why you’ve chosen to talk to her, rather than me, but MESSAGE RECEIVED*
*As it turned out, ‘no messages were received’, or at least not by my erstwhile little sister. Luckily I’ve now been given her actual number, although I do occasionally text the other, mystery number. I’ve seen enough romantic comedies to know that this is probably going to end up being my future husband/ a serial killer. (I have also seen horror movies).
