half her tongue was a circuit board pt II

You had a sister. Twelve years old. She looks a bit like you did when you were younger. You dislike her. Maybe because she reminds you of yourself when you were twelve.

She wears a bandanna or scarf around her head, I don't know whether she knows that you did too back then. It is called the PAM style now. I have no idea what PAM stands for. You can't stand that she does it, you think she does it to aggravate you, but you're not sure.

Yet it is impossible to make her stop. Telling her to stop wearing her hair PAM-style only makes her want to do it more. Telling her it's nice is affirmation. Doing it too would be the only solution, but that's not fashionable, and risks backfiring into her hands - maybe that's what she wanted all along.

Maybe it's better that it was a dream, and that you don't have a kid sister twelve years old.
