This is what happens when your parents don't use birth control.

So my baby sister (read: not really a baby anymore but always a baby to me - awwww) has become a teenager and is trying to find herself. 6 months ago I happened to stumble upon our other sister's YouTube account only to watch, in shock and utter amusement, Julia (my baby sister) give a Dance Dance Revolution tutorial. Or maybe it was just to show off her skills. Either way, I didn't think I was ever going to laugh that hard again.

Until today.




Now, I love my sisters. They're very unique and although a lot of people say they can't ever imagine us sharing any sort of genetic markers, the one thing we share is the intense sense of sarcasm and judgment we use on each other.

For example, last time I was home my best friend and I wanted to try a dance workout video. Julia (the 14 year old girl in the video) said "Well, maybe if you didn't drink all that booze, you wouldn't be so fat."

Well miss thang, let's discuss your Beatboxing Tutorial. First of all, WHAT exactly are you wearing? I'm actually terrified that you're going to come find me with the Russian mafia and beat(box) me back to the Cold War. Seriously? How is it that our mother won't let me leave the house without a $500 designer bag and you get to post a video of yourself looking like...that?

Second of all, whilst i'm proud that you're getting to be really good at your, um, newfound skill - do you even understand the lyrics you are beatboxing to? "If your mother only knew/that you was try-en to get with me." You're 14. I'm 23. I STILL don't understand the content of that line. And believe me, i've been around the block once or twice. Excuse me, "hood."

Lastly, what made you change skills (skillz)? Dance dance revolution was a perfectly acceptable hobby, as well as, drawing Anime and playing the violin. Uh, nevermind. Carry on with this hobby. But remember sister, you are NOT, read: NOT, an underprivileged child beatboxing about the woes of your life. I know where you live and how you have Coach shoes. You ain't foolin' me.

Although I must say, I was very impressed with your edit disclaimer on your video:
Since I didn't realize that many haters on YouTube are too stupid to be able to read the damn description, I will warn you that I WILL delete negative comments(offensive without reason or strong language used). I do accept critique with supporting details and ideas of my improvement.


Very nice. Keep up the good work.
