1. I want my basket. Like now. It was probably midnight on the first day of clue week, or hopefully you were a little more patient than I was. Either way, the excitement gets to you.
2. I can’t believe I was that scary looking in middle school. Your big starts rolling out the best and worst part of clue week: the beloved little Facebook, featuring an assortment of awkward middle school pictures of you taken on a mac computer that you forgot existed. Hey, at least biggie has a sense of humor.
3. What am I supposed to say to the people delivering my basket? The delivery is always the most awkward part. Whether the basket arrives in the arms of some shirtless stranger, or a sketch where your big’s boyfriend pretends to be a snake is involved (this may or may not be from personal experience), you probably didn't always know what to say. In that event, don’t ask me for guidance.
4. Where am I supposed to put all of this stuff? You loved it all, but the utility closet that currently passes as a “college dorm room” only allows space for you and one or two personal affects. It’s going to be tight. Throw away your old high school tees; you have mountains of new clothes now.
5. Did my big have to take out a loan to pay for all of this? As part of the family, personal finances are now your business, and these baskets weren’t cheap.
6. Do these clues actually mean anything? Bigs are notorious for writing fake clues to throw off their littles. Half of the fun is knowing that they’re inducing stress that could lead to serious heart complications later in life.
7. My big knows me eerily well. One of my baskets included canvases with some of my favorite quotes on it. A big’s intuition is apparently always on point. But while a week of getting showered with presents is never a bad thing, you were ready for the real gift- your big!
8. I joined the best family on earth. You finally got to the culmination of all the crazy- big little reveal. You have your big, and that's when you know all of the stress and excitement was totally worth it.
