Things girls with older sisters knew that we did not:
- Everyone wears black to homecoming.
- Eyebrows need to be edited, not deleted.
- Tampons. Just… tampons.
- This is a straightening iron.
- But more often than not, just embrace your fucking natural hair and “do you.”
- Finer points of bra technology developed since 1970.
- Thongs can be used by humans outside of rap videos.
- Where to buy low-cut athletic socks that don’t slip off of your heel when you run.
- That thing where you roll your elastic-waist shorts or pj pants to make them look “put together” and “ass-hugging”.
- How to get any illicit contraband not yet available to tweens.
- What illicit contraband was.
- How to talk to human boys who are not Sims.
- He’s just not that into you.
- He’s gay.
- Just because you’ve buttoned all of the buttons does not mean you can put nothing on under a cardigan and wear it as a shirt, Christine.
Also, not to shave your eyebrows. Because I did that. A lot.
