Flip side of this though is my parents apparently still haven't got my letter. Bro called them to share some good news and they were heavy into the sister/daughter/girl. I don't know if it was always that way when they talk about me, but it smarted a little extra. I know that they probably just haven't gotten the letter yet but I can't help but feel each reference was a little jab at my gender. Just have to be patient.
Though they did seem to make a big deal about my hair being short and looking a lot like my brother. I don't really know what to make of that. It's too hard to avoid trying to read too much into things. Again, just need to be patient.
Will probably text them asking about the letter when bro heads back home.
