On a Christmas afternoon, my sister and I are planning to go to China someday. Well, actually I’m the only one who wants to go there while she wants to go to Europe. However, I managed to convince her that we should go to China first because I love its place, for one thing, and then its infinite line of tourist spots and restaurants. While making my list of to do’s, she is also making her own list of the things she will bring and buy when she arrives in Europe until it becomes a contest. She’s writing too fast and I am too. We both smile at each other but we never lose focus on our list. I know I was losing because I realize that it’s not really all about who gets to finish first but how many we can write.
Very practical, I thought because sure thing when you go on vacation is to have all that you need to be able to save for souvenirs. I use every trick in the book to get her to stop but nothing seems to work except for one thing. I trick her into showing the Christmas Sweets I have. I say that if she wins she will never have any of MY Christmas Sweets. I know that she will never resist my offer because she, too, loves Christmas Sweets especially the mouth-watering dark chocolates. She suddenly stops writing. She lets me win so I let her have the Christmas Sweets after I’ve taken some of my share. After we settle down, she quickly continue making her list, filling every line. She tempt me with the last piece of Christmas Sweets saying that if I let her win, I can have that piece. Oh well, she wins after all.
