Transcript
00:00Your joggers are green and your waistline thick, sometimes your food makes me sick.
00:08I love you a little more in every way, because you're my mother, happy Mother's Day!
00:13When I was finished with my poem, there was complete silence, and suddenly, my sister
00:18Eva burst into laughter.
00:19What a dumb poem!
00:20I looked at Mom, and my eyes welled with tears.
00:25Then Mom stood up and applauded.
00:26Bravo!
00:27Bravo!
00:28Bravo, sweetheart!
00:29That was the best poem ever!
00:30Hey, my name's Tanya, and if you want to hear about the biggest sibling rivalry of the century,
00:35keep watching.
00:36My sister Eva and I were born to a mother who was a world-renowned author, known for
00:40her amazing stories.
00:42But our dad was a struggling dancer, and a pretty bad one at that.
00:46Luckily, I took after Mom and loved writing.
00:48I dreamt of publishing my stories one day like Mom, so I'd spend hours in my room creating
00:53the most amazing stories ever.
00:55The snake slithered in the dark cave, as the filthy bee-breed kissed Captain Silver
01:01on his cheek.
01:02But Eva took after Dad, and wanted to be a world-famous dancer.
01:06Heck, she wanted everyone in the family to be a dancer.
01:08Tanya, you should give up writing and become a dancer.
01:11You'll never make it as a writer with that lisp.
01:13You see, I had a lisp, and because of it, my S's and Z's sound like thuh.
01:18At school, kids teased me about it, and I didn't have any friends.
01:21This obviously meant I was super shy and avoided talking to people.
01:25Eva, on the other hand, was super popular with tons of friends who were always ready
01:29to see her newest dance moves, no matter how crazy they were.
01:33Growing up, even though Eva teased me about my lisp, we were pretty good friends.
01:36But then, everything changed.
01:38When Eva and I turned 13, our parents started fighting like crazy.
01:42They were always arguing over bills, and couldn't even stand to be in the same room with each
01:47other.
01:48A few months later, Dad left, and we never saw him again.
01:50Good riddance to you and your poverty.
01:53Huh.
01:54Eventually, we're devastated.
01:55But after Dad left, Mom changed.
01:57She hated each and everything about Dad, so she tried to steer Eva away from dancing.
02:02Eva, dancing is dumb.
02:03But I'm good at it, Mom.
02:05Honey, I've seen you trip over your own two feet more times than I can count.
02:08Then I'll stumble my way to the stars.
02:10When Mom realized she was talking to a brick wall, she turned all her attention to me.
02:15Tanya, another A in creative writing?
02:18Let's celebrate.
02:19She ignored Eva completely, no matter how much Eva tried to win her over.
02:22Mom, I won the talent show at school today with my dancing skills.
02:26It didn't matter what Eva accomplished.
02:29Mom never praised her, and Eva began to hate me for hogging Mom's attention and tried to
02:33make me look bad in front of her.
02:35About a week after our 15th birthday, Mom hosted a small gathering and asked me to make
02:39caramelized apples for the guests.
02:41I was super excited, and the apples smelled amazing.
02:44But when the guests tasted the apples, they almost puked.
02:47These are disgusting.
02:49Is that dish soap?
02:50Yep, sure enough.
02:51My sister switched my caramelized apples with apples covered in dish soap.
02:56Another time, Mom invited her writing friends over, and while I was in the middle of reading
02:59my stories, Eva walked in with a radio in her hand blaring hip-hop music.
03:04She twirled, bleed, and swayed to the rhythm.
03:07For a second, everyone was impressed, but then disaster struck as Eva tried to execute
03:11a dramatic spin.
03:13Her foot accidentally connected with the edge of the table, sending the fishbowl flying,
03:17and poor Benny landed in Mom's editor's mouth.
03:20Mom was furious.
03:21Eva, no more dancing ever.
03:23You have no right to take dancing away from me.
03:25I'm your mother, and what I say goes.
03:28I hate you.
03:29That night, Mom removed every device that could play music in the house.
03:33Eva looked ready to explode.
03:35The next day was Saturday, and I woke up to the worst screeching sound coming from Eva's
03:40room.
03:41When I got to Eva's room, she was huffing and puffing with wild enthusiasm into a harmonica.
03:46Eva, you sound like you're strangling cats.
03:49Since I can't dance, I'm starting our school's first harmonica club.
03:53Eva smirked devilishly as she blew once more into the harmonica.
03:57She was so annoying.
03:58I returned to my bedroom and tried to block out the noise, but then neighborhood dogs
04:02began to howl in unison.
04:04Oh, God.
04:05Make it stop.
04:06I decided that I needed to get out of the house if I was going to get any peace and
04:09quiet.
04:10Angrily, I gathered my books and ran out to the park.
04:13As I was walking past the pond in the park, someone screamed,
04:15Look out!
04:17Before I could react, someone crashed into me, sending us tumbling into the pond.
04:20I sputtered and stood up utterly drenched.
04:23No!
04:24My precious stories were now a pile of soggy pages soaked beyond recognition.
04:29I'm so sorry.
04:30I couldn't stop.
04:31I was so furious and devastated that I could power a rocket to Mars with the steam coming
04:35out of my ears.
04:36It's not your fault.
04:37It's my sister's.
04:38Her and her stupid harmonica.
04:40I marched home with a thunderous fury in my steps, each one echoing my building frustration
04:45As I prepared to confront Eva, I burst through the front door, and there Eva was, sitting
04:50in the living room.
04:51I threw my ruined stories at her.
04:53Because of you, my stories are ruined.
04:55With a rush of adrenaline, I lunged at Eva, and the living room became a war zone.
05:00A few minutes later, Mom walked through the front door and pulled us apart.
05:03Why are you girls fighting?
05:04I quickly explained what happened to Mom, while Eva fumed on the other side of her.
05:09Everything I worked so hard on is now gone.
05:11And how is that my fault, Sonia?
05:14If you weren't playing that stupid harmonica, I wouldn't have had to leave the house.
05:17Eva, you're grounded.
05:18Go to your room.
05:19Now.
05:20Eva glared at us and then stormed off.
05:22Don't worry, Tanya.
05:23Together, we'll create more stories from that big, beautiful brain of yours.
05:27Over the next few days, Mom and I spent hours huddled together, weaving new stories to replace
05:32the ones that were lost.
05:33Our collaboration was nothing short of magical.
05:36About a month later, I had completed twenty incredible short stories which Mom took to
05:40her publisher.
05:41And guess what?
05:42He loved it.
05:43Without Mom's help, I had just accomplished my first major writing achievement.
05:46Eek!
05:47I can't believe I'm about to become a published author!
05:50Congratulations, Tanya.
05:51I'm so proud of you.
05:52Thanks, Mom.
05:53I couldn't do it without you.
05:54News about my first book spread through the school like wildfire, and it wasn't long before
05:59I became more popular than Eva.
06:01Over the next year, with the help of specialists, my lisp improved, and I published two more
06:06books.
06:07The more famous I got, the more rebellious Eva got.
06:10She'd come home late, started skipping school, and hung out with the wrong crowd.
06:14One afternoon while at the mall, I even caught her trying to shoplift.
06:17Eva, what are you doing?
06:18What I'm doing is none of your business, Tanya.
06:21It is my business, because you're my sister and I care about you.
06:24You care about me so much that not once have you stood up for me since Mom banned me from
06:29dancing.
06:30A wave of guilt washed over me.
06:32Eva was right.
06:33I was so caught up following my dream, while her dreams remained out of reach.
06:37Eva, maybe we can talk to Mom together.
06:40Eva's eyes darkened, and she leaned close, our faces inches apart.
06:44No need, because soon you'll realize that dreams don't last forever.
06:48Eva brushed past me and left the store.
06:51On my way home, my mind was still reeling from my encounter with Eva, so I decided that
06:56a few donuts would help brighten my mood.
06:58Much to my surprise, Pondboy was behind the cash register.
07:01Hey, it's you!
07:02What are you doing here?
07:03Pondboy flashed me a mischievous smile.
07:06Gotta keep an eye on the coffee beans.
07:08I can be quite mischievous, always plotting to escape.
07:11So, your coffee bean security?
07:13Just call me Captain Beanie!
07:15In a much more serious tone, he added,
07:17By the way, I'm Alex.
07:19Tanya, after receiving my order, I sat at one of the tables.
07:22When Alex had finished his shift, he joined me.
07:24I told him about the three books I published with Mom's help, while he told me about his
07:28life.
07:29I grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by a nice couple about a year ago.
07:32I'm glad you finally have a family.
07:35A strange look crossed Alex's face, and he smiled.
07:38So do I!
07:39Alex was kind and smart and super easy to talk to.
07:42Over the next few weeks, when I wasn't at school or writing, I was hanging out with
07:46Alex.
07:47One afternoon, I invited Alex home to watch movies.
07:49I had gone into the kitchen to get snacks, and when I returned, Alex and Eva were laughing
07:54and talking as if they'd known each other for years.
07:57And sure enough, over the next two weeks, Alex was hanging out with Eva more than he
08:01was with me.
08:02I was furious!
08:03So, you're ditching me again to hang out with Eva?
08:06Tanya, she's your sister.
08:07I don't see what the problem is.
08:09I couldn't help but feel jealous.
08:11Alex was supposed to be my friend, not Eva's.
08:13I decided to confront him about it at the cafe.
08:15When I got there, he was deep in thought as he stared at a picture that he was holding.
08:19I snuck behind him to glance at the picture, and I gasped when I realized that it was a
08:23picture of Eva.
08:24Are you stalking my sister?
08:26You creep!
08:27Startled, Alex fumbled with the picture and shoved it into his pocket.
08:30It's nothing like that, Tanya.
08:32Please, keep your voice down.
08:33You want me to keep my voice down?
08:35You befriended me to get to my sister, didn't you?
08:38I did, but it's not what you think.
08:40Then explain it to me.
08:41What Alex said next turned my world upside down.
08:44Eva is my sister.
08:46I looked at Alex and began laughing hysterically.
08:49Am I being pranked?
08:51Do you have hidden cameras in here?
08:53Alex shook his head, and I saw the sadness in his eyes.
08:56What?
08:57Are you serious?
08:58It has to be a mistake.
08:59One day, the orphanage director asked me to bring out some files from his office, and
09:03I accidentally dropped them.
09:04I noticed my mother's name and a picture of her.
09:07Out of curiosity, I opened the file and saw that Mom had a twin birth.
09:11So, I jotted down the name of the person who adopted my sister and traced it back to your family.
09:17I was stunned and hurt.
09:19Why would Mom keep something like this a secret for 17 years?
09:23I understood why Alex ditched me.
09:25He wanted to spend time getting to know his sister.
09:28I knew I had to do something.
09:30You're coming with me.
09:31Before he could say no, I grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the cafe all the way home.
09:35Mom?
09:36Eva?
09:37Where are you?
09:38Mom came out from the kitchen, but Eva was nowhere to be seen.
09:40When were you going to tell Eva that she was adopted?
09:42A look of horror appeared on Mom's face.
09:44Who told you that?
09:45It doesn't matter.
09:46Mom, is it true?
09:47Is Eva adopted?
09:48Mom sank into the sofa.
09:50Yes, it's true.
09:51Eva is adopted.
09:52We heard a gasp, and we all looked up to see Eva frozen at the top of the stairs,
09:56her eyes as wide as saucers.
09:58She turned around and bolted to her room, and I ran after her.
10:01Just as she was about to slam her door on me, I rammed the door with my shoulder, hard,
10:06sending the both of us flying into the room.
10:08Mom and Alex rushed into the room, and Mom knelt by my side.
10:11Tanya, are you okay?
10:12Mom, I'm fine.
10:13Eva needs you.
10:14Why didn't you tell us?
10:15I looked across at Eva, who was staring out of the window.
10:18Her shoulder shook slightly, and I knew she was crying.
10:21Mom went over to her while Alex helped me to my feet.
10:24Mom tried to touch Eva's shoulders, but she shrugged Mom off.
10:27Is this why you never liked me?
10:29Because you're not my mother?
10:31Eva, you are my daughter, and I love you.
10:34Around the time Tanya was born, we visited the orphanage for a charity run, and we fell
10:38in love with you, so we brought you home.
10:40Eva turned to face Mom.
10:42Her mascara mingled with tears running down her cheeks.
10:45What type of love makes you rip my dreams and toss them into the garbage?
10:49Mom was in tears.
10:50Eva, loving something and being able to make it into a career are two different things.
10:55I love to sing, but I sound like a frog with a tuba stuck in my throat.
10:59And I love to play the harmonica, but I'm not very good at it.
11:02OMG, you guys really are siblings.
11:05The worst harmonica duo in history.
11:08A small smile curved onto Eva's lips.
11:10As your mother, it's my job to tell you the truth.
11:13Maybe together we can think about what you're really good at and take it from there.
11:17But you should have told me!
11:18I'm sorry I didn't.
11:20Can you forgive me?
11:21I think so, but I need time to process it all.
11:24Now that you guys have made up, Mom, do you mind taking me to the hospital?
11:28Over the next few months, Eva and I grew closer, and I was happy to see Mom and Eva spending
11:33more time together.
11:34Alex and his parents came to dinner once a week, but Alex was always hanging out at our house.
11:39I didn't lose a sister.
11:40I gained a brother, an aunt, and an uncle.
11:42Once Eva and I graduated from high school, I went to college, and Eva started her harmonica band.
11:47Just kidding.
11:48Eva didn't know what she wanted to do yet, so she got a job at the cafe, and Alex and
11:52Mom supported her.
11:53And after two years, Alex and Eva decided to open their own cafe, and Eva went to college
11:58to get a degree in business.
11:59No family is perfect, but a supportive family is everything.
