That's wonderful, and hilarious, and oh how I do not mind you being a chili-cheeseburger. It is a coping mechanism, is it? Well, that's just too delicious for words. Thanks, and please come back soon for more. Hi, Lisa. That’s wonderful, and hilarious, and oh how I do not mind you being a chili-cheeseburger. It is a coping mechanism, is it?

I would say my sister and I are both burritos, but when you unwrap me a/k/a when I let down my defenses and let you see the real me, you find a chili-cheeseburger...letting it all hang out and living life. It's a coping mechanism...perhaps Margaret is the same? Guarded but once she let's you in, she's fiercely loyal and loads of fun? If so, rather than birth order, maybe it's a Gemini thing..you know we have split personalities! I have a 26-year old son and a 19-year old daughter and I must say they're both pretty tightly wrapped. Being the only daughter, I suppose my girl really *is* the equivalent of first born "older sister."

Love your environment take on the ingredients. I agree, also about genetics? Did you say you love genetics? Me, too. And I write about them here: http://thesisterproject.com/sisterpedia/genetics-101-for-siblings/ So thanks for mentioning it, you burrito-sister, you. Please come back soonest. And bring your sister!

I do believe the environment is what determines whether the burrito has meat or beans etc.; the burger mayo or mustard. I also find genetics fascinating.

That I "may be on to something" is high praise indeed from a burrito. Thanks, sister. Hi, Sandy. That I “may be on to something” is high praise indeed from a burrito. Thanks, sister.

I am the oldest sister and I am definitely a burrito. I wouldn't say my younger sister is a burger, but maybe slightly less tightly wrapped, a messy burrito you could say. My mother is the oldest sister and she is a consummate burrito; her younger sister is a burger for sure. You may be on to something. I am the oldest sister and I am definitely a burrito.

Welcome. Oh, I'm so glad you agree about the older-sister-burrito thing. I knew I was right. HA! I just love the deodorant sorting mechanism. I wonder who else has methods for dividing and understanding the world? Let us hear from you, sisters. Hi, Danielle. Welcome. Oh, I’m so glad you agree about the older-sister-burrito thing.

My personal favorite people-sorting trick came out of a friend finding that the only deodorants he could find to send a friend in Japan (who had requested them) came in lavender and apricot - we decided all people can be categorized as such, and it is completely intuitive, with no discernable system. We found we agreed on which of our friends would be which scent, no argument necessary. (We were both lavenders.)
