I also let Kristin sleep in the big bed with us, because she’s my sister and I like her. But not enough to let her sleep past 5am. I thought she was being too lazy—it was a Monday, after all!—so I woke her up by nibbling her fingers and licking her chin. She grumbled and took me outside, where there was a whole family of dogs eating grass. I’ve never seen dogs that big before. They sure look funny.
