Rosie

Forrester Sibling Group Chat

Haydn:What was the name of that movie Rosie made us watch last year at the cabin?

Haydn:The one with the long dresses and all that weird dancing.

Jules:Was it *about* dresses?

Haydn:No. It was a love story though. They did lots of walking.

Haydn:Rosie went on and on about how sexy hand flexing was when the movie was over.

Jules:I remember that! *shudders*

Rosie:PRIDE AND PREJUDICE!!

Rosie:How have I failed my brothers so terribly?

Bennett:I remembered. I was just getting ready to type it, but you were too quick.

Jules:Riiiiight.

Rosie:Why do you need to know, Haydn?

Haydn:Lia and I were talking about movies with ridiculous plotlines, and I couldn’t remember the name.

Jules:It was SO ridiculous. What guy proposes a SECOND time after being told no? Where’s your self-respect, Mr. Doofus?

Rosie:MR. DARCY.

Haydn:And all the long, drawn out pasture scenes? Snooze.

Rosie:I have disowned you all. Dissing Pride and Prejudice is too much.

Jules:You know whose hand flex I liked? Thanos.

Haydn:Dude, that movie was so good. That hand flex actually meant something.

Rosie:You mean the one that killed half the world?

Jules:Exactly.

Bennett: It was more of a snap than a flex.

Jules:Taking out half the world was totally a flex.

Rosie:Do NOT ruin the handflex for me.

Jules:*handflex*

Rosie:UGH!

Rosie:Please check your email at your earliest convenience as you will find a “special” invitation for all of you.

Rosie:I await your RSVP.
