The Ugly Sister

Tacoma is the Canada of Washington; the ugly sister. Tacoma suffers from a severe inferiority complex as well as a little bit of ADD. Seattle was prom queen. Tacoma didn't even have a date to the dance. Tacoma took to smoking pot under the bleachers during football games while Seattle cheered in the stands. Seattle went to an Ivy League college where she double majored in Psychology and Music Eduation. Tacoma took a few general ed classes at a community college before dropping out to work as a parking attendant. Tacoma has to listen to everyone gush about how fun Seattle is, how beautiful, how successful. But Tacoma is growing into herself. True, it took a little cosmetic surgery, but Tacoma's ugly awkward stage is almost over. And where Seattle can be a little distant and self-absorbed, Tacoma's been known to many as a loyal friend. So I raise my glass to you, Tacoma. You may smell a little funky every now and again, but it's worth having you around.
