BettySue knew that her sister JerriLynn had a temper. She was like that all her life. From the time that they were young girls JerriLynn carried much amarulence towards BettySue. Her identical twin was always bringing up the fact that she was the second one born. Their parents had tried to reassure her always that it didn’t matter. They loved them both equally. But JerriLynn never accepted that. Yelleka was the eldest of the sisters, BettySue was the first twin born and BobbyEarl was the baby of the family, and the only boy. All of this made her feel overlooked. This continued on through high school and into their adult lives. Then when their parents had been killed in a horrific car accident JerriLynn just seemed to get worse. Yelleka was a very successful attorney by then and all the children were left well off from their parent’s estate. Yelleka had made sure to write their parents Will so that all the siblings were each given the same share. JerriLynn felt she didn’t get an equal share and the other three were well aware of that fact.
BettySue knew from the time she was a child that she wanted to be a tragematopolist and with all the money she was left opened her candy shop and was successful within a few short months. She had a gift when it came to candy. BobbyEarl worked in the store with her as his love for candy was just as great. JerriLynn on the other hand squandered most of her inheritance on frivolous items. Yelleka warned her not to defedate the generous gift their parents had left her but she ignored her older sisters words of advice. It drove poor Yelleka insane always having to “handle” JerriLynn but she resigned herself to that fact and knew it was her role as the big sister.
“Hello Yell. How are you?” BettySue said answering her phone in the shop. Thank goodness for caller ID she thought.
“Hi BS” Yelleka responded. “I’m sure you have heard what happened to JerriLynn. Did you do anything to those Chocolate Covered Strawberries?” she asked.
“Yell, you know me better than that. I have a reputation to uphold here. She’s my twin for goodness sakes. Why would I do that?” queried BettySue.
“BS, you’ve been known to have a temper just like JerriLynn. We know that she went off the deep end after Ma and Pa were killed and has always felt like she got screwed with the money, but I find it hard to believe she would do something like eat ex-lax and blame it on your strawberry candies. Now tell me what you did!” Yelleka demanded.
“I devised a plan and all ll I did was tell her that I discontinued them because I was going to start a new line. Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts. I never saw her again in the store after that. And yes Yell they are becoming an overnight sensation.” BettySue said proudly knowing that the Nut’s assectation, namely the Strawberries, could become a formidable challenge to top. But they were well on their way.
Listening, Yelleka heard laughter in the background. “What is BobbyEarl laughing at BS?”
“I guess something on this iPod Yell.”
“You know she is allergic to Nuts. You are an evil woman BS” Yelleka snapped.
“And I have many customers that adored my Strawberries and JerriLynn left me with none every time I made them. I had to do something.”
“Let me talk to her again. BS you swear to me this is the truth? Don’t lie to your big sister!”
“Yell I promise you” BettySue said ending the conversation with the appropriate goodbyes.
“Did she buy it?” BobbyEarl and JerriLynn asked BettySue in unison.
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
Say WHAT?
Did not expect that ending!
Loved it!
LOL…I’m glad you didn’t
ooohhhh a twist- I love it when the plot thickens. Great story as always, cannot wait to see next weeks character development!
Thank you. Much appreciated
What are those little stinkers up to? Good surprise finish there. Can’t wait for more.
RnPB Chapter 012
One just never knows
Oh my goodness! Now we don’t know who to trust! What a twist!
AND, not that this will surprise you — I completely spaced 3WT — well, actually, I completely spaced Thursday. Is that today? Since there was no sleep to separate Monday from Tuesday, I think this is Wednesday ….
That’s exactly where I wanted this to be. And to think you fly back soon as well. You are going to be even more confused as to what day of the week it is LOL
Storm. BIG storm. We’re staying right here. Travelocity sent us an apology. Seems the airports are closed. Oh well. We’re in a really nice suite — when we’re in our room — and having a good time.
That’s either TMI or have a great time. Welcome to the mainland. LOL
And I thought JerriLyn had LBM…
LOL…nope
you could write scripts for soap operas, you know
Well I guess that comes from watching All My Children from the start LOL
You should watch Korean Dramas instead. They tend to be circular and most importantly THEY END! you won’t turn them on 20 years from now and see the same story with different faces…I’m just saying
Hmmm food for thought. Thanks for the suggestion.
and you ate so right about same story just different faces. LOL
I love it – wicked twins gang up on older sister attorney. Hey . . . wait a minute. I’m an older sister attorney…
Hmmm I never knew. LOL. Yeah they are. Witches!!! LOL
OMG What a family! I never know what to expect from these stories of yours!
Wanna know a secret? Neither do I LOL
