This is Sixteen.

stories and snippets from the frontlines of age sixteen.

Child 1 (girl)

Very responsible, committed to paying for herself and managing her finances, etc.

Getting into food whenever she feels like it, and sometimes not so subtly doing so in front of her 4- and 6-year old brothers.

Olivia Rodrigo, selling clothes on Poshmark, Wednesday season 1 with her brother. 09/23

Competitive with her 13-yo brother. Can go from bonding and having a good time to suddenly flipping and pointing the finger at him for not doing chores/tasks/anything.

Hugging, chinning, snuggling aggressively with her 4-year old brother.

In the locked-door stage. Perhaps for good reason, considering her younger brothers’ interest in her room.

Love the nightly ritual of watching something with her and 13yo. Movie or something short. Current: BlacKKKlansman, Spy Game, Brooklyn 99, Gilmore Girls…
