Having nieces only 3 years younger than you is a lot different than the usual age gap between an aunt and niece. My nieces are twins and I was 3 years old when they were born. We grew together and I am more like their older sister. Even though I am only 3 years older than them, they still call me 'Auntie' and I think that is adorable.

My nieces and I get mistaken for sisters.

All 3 of us have always looked a lot alike. My Mom and sister used to dress us in matching outfits, and we used to get mistaken for triplets.

We fight like sisters.

We have gotten into a bunch of little fights. Once, I got mad at one of them because she licked the brownie mix on the spatula and didn't wait to share it. We've gotten into fights about stealing each other's clothes and a bunch of other little things. No matter what we fight about, we always get through it.

We share clothes, shoes, and many other things.

We are all about the same size so we always exchange clothes. They've used my shoes, jackets, and even homecoming dresses. When we were younger, we would share Nintendo DS games and other toys.

We're always there for each other.

They have seen me at my lowest point, and I've seen them at theirs. I have seen them get their first boyfriend, win volleyball games, and this year, I get to watch them graduate high school.

Aunt and niece relationships are like no other. Ours is specifically special because I grew up with them but also got to be a role model for them. I wouldn't know what to do without these girls.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
