Ribena – the drink of ‘CHOICE’

I love my big sister. I would not say that we were close growing up but as an adult, you see things differently and we all have our own story.
We are close now and she makes me laugh when she tells me things she remembers. I hope to always make her laugh.
This is one of my old favourites because I can still picture it as though it was yesterday.
I do not know how old we were but we were quite young when we were sitting at the dining table (in the UK) with a glass of Ribena each.
We were both nicely dressed and I am not sure if we were sitting while waiting for Mum and Dad to get ready to go out but I do remember that we had both been given a glass of RIBENA.
I remember her dress being light blue (I can see the dress) and all I thought was ‘I wonder what that would look like with Ribena on it’.
Do not ask me WHY I thought that but I did (creative spirit I guess?) so I leant over and slowly poured my entire glass of Ribena down her front.
I did not expect that she would start screaming, that Dad would be there in a flash or that I would be getting a smack for that little experiment which inevitably happened but I do remember that the dress didn’t look that great.
She was my canvas that day and I was the artiste!
