part.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\"><\/div>\n<p>She was my older sister by four years, and for most of our lives she had treated birth order like a title deed.<\/p>\n<p>She got the center bedroom when we were children.<\/p>\n<p>She got my father\u2019s attention when we were teenagers.<\/p>\n<p>She got my mother\u2019s defense whenever she went too far and someone else was expected to call it personality.<\/p>\n<p>I got the habit of watching before speaking.<\/p>\n<p>That habit saved me more times than anyone in that house ever knew.<\/p>\n<p>By the time I was thirty-two, my family had built a story around me that suited them.<\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn was the quiet one.<\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn was the divorced one.<\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn did consulting, whatever that meant.<\/p>\n<p>Jocelyn drove a practical car and did not talk about clients at dinner, which meant the clients could not have mattered much.<\/p>\n<p>They never asked better questions, and I stopped offering better answers.<\/p>\n<p>My daughter Clara was five that Easter.<\/p>\n<p>She had spent the morning choosing between two ribbons for her hair, holding each one against her pale blue dress and asking which made her look more like spring.<\/p>\n<p>I told her both did.<\/p>\n<p>She chose white.<\/p>\n<p>In the car, with her small patent shoes tapping lightly against the back of the passenger seat, she asked me if Aunt Katherine would be nice.<\/p>\n<p>It was the kind of question children ask when they already know the answer but want an adult to make the world safer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter dinner at the Keller estate had never really been about Easter. arrow_forward_ios Read more Pause 00:00 00:18 Mute &nbsp; Powered by
