Yes, I vaguely remember that when I was a child living in California, I had a "best" friend named Debbie, and also her younger sister was my little sister's age. One day when we were at their house, Debbie was telling the little sisters something that was not true. Later, the little sisters pressured me until I finally fixed her "mistake." How much of that was staged I really have no idea. Yes, I sort of get the logic of keeping the little sisters guessing and under control of older sisters, and perhaps I should have kept the "older" girls' secret. But on the other hand, I have to live with my little sister and family for a very long time, whereas do I really want all my personal information to be funneled through devious Debbie, dependent on her for my "secrets"? Do I really trust Debbie not to turn against me whenever the wind is blowing in some other direction? No, probably I can get along fine without Debbie, I should not be expecting too much from Debbie. I recently found their Italian moniker. Oh, I did not know they were part Italian, I thought they were Dutch, but either way, we are not that close anymore. Not at all.
