Amazing Gracee

I have a 15 year old sister, Gracee. She is a riot. Not only is she tall and beautiful but she is witty and clever too. (She is, of course, MY sister.) The other night we were out to dinner with my family at Ruth's Chris. The waiter was bringing out our food when I turned to Gracee and jokingly said, "I'll pay you $50 to ask the waiter to cut your steak for you."
Without missing a beat she turned and asked. And he did it. He cut her steak into bite sized pieces for her. I was DYING of embarrassment and she didn't act flustered in the least. Basically the joke was on me. But I am not one to let $50 go too easily. So I plotted my revenge.
Gracee was going with me to my 4th of July Wimmer family party. Keep in mind that the Wimmers are my in-laws and she doesn't really know them too well. I told her that we do a talent show every year for the party and that she needed to prepare a talent. Being the guest and not wanting to be a party pooper, she went about practicing her lip sync routine.
After lunch at the party we set up chairs on the lawn, got out the karaoke machine and made a stage on the deck. Gracee took the stage and performed a lovely Miley Cyrus song. Everyone cheered and clapped and took pictures. When it was over I informed her that we had never done a talent show before and she was the only act. She pushed me off the deck and tried to tackle me to the ground. I was laughing so hard I nearly peed my pants! She was laughing too and was totally a good sport about it. But something tells me that I need to watch my back....
Love you Gracee!
