Just Think About It, Edith.

Edith dear,

In the past I know I have been hard on you. Pro Mary, anti Edith. I don’t know if Mary and I—both oldest sisters—had some kind of connection or what, but my opinion has done a complete 180. I can’t abandon Mary completely; we both understand how annoying little sisters can be (sorry, but I have two myself). We have mostly outgrown the constant bickering, but I feel so sorry for you. Isn’t Mary a tad too old to be constantly putting down her younger sister?

I watched part two of the finale last Wednesday. I must say Mary gave big sisters a bad name (okay, I am not a saint, but it’s my birthright). I never thought I would say this, but you need to get out of that house! It is one jab after another! You have to take it day in and day out. Tom offered, and I truly think you and Marigold would be happier in Boston. It’s just like Tom was saying, you could find a job at a newspaper and Marigold would already have a friend in Sybbie. The perfect plan, right…?

I wouldn’t even care if something “happened” between you and Tom. The two of you have been off on your own lately.   I just wanted to encourage you to explore that option. He is very handsome and you would have a friend (or possibly more), somewhere where you could make a fresh start. Please just think about it.

Sorry for my previous opinion,

Erin

Ah, sisters! You can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em. Watching Mary and Edith reminds of Sarah and me: The bickering.

Sarah sent me something that goes perfectly with my last post, “The Crawley Bunch,” and the similarities are almost creepy. You’ll see, but it’s like this is who Edith is based on!

1. I could play with Isis and Pharo anytime I wanted.
2. I could enjoy Mrs. Patmore’s cooking.
3. I could get dressed in my prettiest dress just to have dinner.
4. I would have Anna to confide in.
5. I would have an entire library of books to choose from. Walls and walls. In every room.
6. I could always be entertained by Granny and her sarcastic comments.
7. Like Mary, I am the oldest of three daughters–although Mary (SPOILER ALERT) ends up being the oldest of two after Sybil dies–and I would have handsome suitors fighting over me.
8. I would live in a beautiful castle.
9. I could host lavish balls and do none of the preparation or cleanup.
10. I could wear a fancy updo for relaxing at home.
11. No pesky neighbors–your property goes on for miles.
