Today is Lil Chicky’s birthday.
So I thought I’d tell you a birthday story.
The first one was fraught with competitive friction.
This young whippersnapper had the front to question her big sister’s attempts at teaching birthday best practice
 |
| Her (L) and me (R) |
But it wasn’t long before she got the hang of it
 |
| Sisterly pride in the background |
And tried to muscle in
 |
| ‘What’s the deal? It’s my birthday, not yours!’ |
So I had to re-assert my authority
 |
| Birthday territory re-established |
And by the time we got to her 21st, we had learnt to share
 |
| 21st birthday of Lil Chicky (in the green dress) |
So we played happily together
 |
| Outside Flinders St Station in 2005 |
for ever
 |
| Anzac Day Match at the MCG 2007 |
and ever
 |
| At Sand Sculptures in Frankston, December 2010 |
Happy Birthday Chicky!

Thanks Jane. Glad you enjoyed it.
Jack, you are correct. I do not know that one. Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves is definitely more my vintage

VW I am often grateful to Mum and Lil Chicky – they scanned squillions of old photos on to CDs so I can have them over here. They are priceless!
Glad you enjoyed them.

You're both too young to remember that one!
