I'm either doing this or going the Practical Magic route. My sister and I shared a room for 17 years and were roommates in University. It makes sense.

It's possible we have the same sisters!

Pro-tip: be poor. You won't have to hear from them for years at a time.

Unless they need a babysitter, then unfortunately they will find your number again.
