Hello, there my name is Bethany Hollenbeck.

I have two sisters.

one is called jenny and one is called missy.

They both love to dress and act like babies.

Sometimes in more ways than one.

We are a family of witches who are devoted to the teaching of Shadira the earth mother.

My sister “Missy” has a thing for frilly clothes and also never stays out of my room.

My other sister Jenny is a gifted poet, she likes frilly clothing as well.

Unlike Missy, Jenny respects my privacy.

I still love Missy though.

Often when she comes into my room she will want to tell me something that is upsetting her.

At other times she will just want a playmate.

Our Grandmother has just passed away.

Our family has just moved to an old house in another part of Ireland that Grandma Rowan left for us in her will.

The house Grandma left for us is so much better than the old house we lived in, in a run-down part of Dublin

Obviously, we were nowhere near unpacked.

However, mummy said we could go, and explore because we had been working hard for ages.

Although mummy did tell us all that we must not go to far.

 She also told us to make sure we had each a change of clothes, and some diapers in case any of us need changing.

After all, we all have accidents sometimes.

I myself, have to wear pull-ups

Jenny and missy both had to wear full baby diapers.

We always had to take some with us wherever we went.

I have always thought it was a little embarrassing.

However, it does not seem to affect Jenny or Missy that much.

Long journeys are always the worst.

So that’s the Hollenbeck family for you our mummy, and myself Missy and Jenny.

But wait, I nearly forgot to mention.

There are the Rowans. who are on Mummys side of the family?

Amazingly there have been no boys in our family for 4 generations,

Mummy told us all the children have been girls.

 

There is one other thing I would like to tell you.

That is, we do not have a Daddy.

Daddy vanished just after the twins were born, and no one knows where he is.

We do not talk of him when the twins are around, and we do not have any pictures of him.

It is very very sad and it makes me cry talking about it.

Let me tell you a little more about my sisters, as they are so dear to me.

Then you can come exploring with us.

 

I was sitting on my bed playing my violin. singing my favorite song called “Fields of Athenry”

Which went like this.

 

“By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling,

 

Michael, they have taken you away

 

For ya stole travaleions corn so the young might see the morn

 

Now a prison ship lays waiting in the bay…..”

 

I was just about to start the next line when Missy burst in with her red hair flying behind her.

She asked me to change her diaper for her.

I always wondered why they didn’t ask mummy to do it.

However, I obliged happily cos I like the quality time it allowed us to spend together.

 

So I lay her on the floor and took a diaper from the shelf.

I then, like a mummy put her diaper on.

“Now go on ya little scamp go play with jenny she’s looking for you and I need to practice for my exam on Monday.”

 

Missy pouted then left me alone and I carried on practicing.

 

Missy was so sweet and so loving and at the same time so young and innocent and unbelievably sensitive.

 

I don’t think I was like that when I was her age

Mind you, they hadn’t seen what I saw when I was I was that age.

 

There was a knock on my door and I told them to come in.

 

My other sister Jenny walked in.

Jenny was very wise for her tender years and was very respectful of me.

She had long brown hair that flowed freely and always wore rose-tinted glasses to protect her sensitive eyes from the sun.

 

However, this sensitivity did mean she could see better in the dark then either of us other two could.

Isn’t that weird?

 

“Why don’t you come exploring with us”, asked Jenny

“We are just packing a bag then we are going”

So off we went exploring

 

Whilst we were exploring we decided we all needed a diaper change.

 

I changed mine and then my sisters.

Suddenly a man comes out of the bushes he has a gun.

 

He points it at us and tells us all to stand up.

We all as we are told.
