I need to think through this step-by-step.
Given information:
Let me work out how many sisters are in the family total.
If each of Sally's 3 brothers has 2 sisters, and all the brothers are in the same family, then there must be 2 sisters total in the family.
Since Sally is one of those sisters, and there are 2 sisters total, Sally must have 1 sister.
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
Alright, let's tackle this problem step by step. I'll start by understanding the information given and then try to visualize the family structure to find out how many sisters Sally has.
We have the following information:
The question is: How many sisters does Sally have?
At first glance, it might seem straightforward, but let's break it down to ensure we don't miss anything.
First, let's list out the family members based on the information:
So far, the family consists of:
Now, the next piece of information is that each brother has 2 sisters.
This is where we need to be careful. The statement says that each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters.
Let's think about what this means for one brother, say Brother A:
Who could these sisters be?
We already know that Sally is a sister to Brother A because Sally is a girl and Brother A is her brother. So, one of Brother A's sisters is Sally.
But the statement says Brother A has 2 sisters, not just one. So, there must be another sister besides Sally.
This implies that there is another girl in the family who is a sister to Brother A.
Similarly, this would apply to Brother B and Brother C as well. Each of them has 2 sisters: one is Sally, and the other is this additional sister.
From the above, we can deduce that there is another sister besides Sally.
Let's name this additional sister: Sister X.
Now, let's list all the siblings:
Now, let's verify the condition that each brother has 2 sisters:
This checks out.
Now, the question is: How many sisters does Sally have?
From our list:
Out of these, the sisters are Sister X.
So, Sally has 1 sister: Sister X.
Let me double-check to ensure this makes sense.
Now, for each brother:
This matches the given information that each brother has 2 sisters.
Now, for Sally:
Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
Initially, one might think that since each brother has 2 sisters, and there are 3 brothers, the total number of sisters is 2 (as each brother's sisters are the same two girls).
But the key is to realize that Sally is one of those sisters, and the other sister is someone else.
Another way to look at it is:
After carefully analyzing the relationships and verifying the counts, it's clear that:
Sally has 1 sister.

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9.
To compare these decimal numbers:
Since both numbers have the same whole number part (9), we compare the decimal parts:
Therefore, 9.9 is greater than 9.11.
To determine whether 9.11 is greater than 9.9, let's compare the two numbers step by step.

So I'm 30 now, which means I'm officially an adult. Apparently. Though I still feel like I'm just a confused teenager wearing a slightly more expensive t-shirt.
You know what nobody tells you about being an adult? How much time you spend pretending to understand what other adults are talking about. I was at a dinner party last week – because that's what we do now, we have "dinner parties" instead of just "eating pizza on the couch" – and someone started talking about mortgage rates.
I just nodded along like, "Oh yes, rates. Very mortgage-y." Meanwhile, I'm thinking a mortgage is something you get at a fancy French restaurant.
mimics sophisticated nodding
"Mmm, yes, I'll have the mortgage, medium rare."
And don't get me started on small talk with neighbors. I live in an apartment building, and there's this unspoken rule that you have to acknowledge each other in the hallway. But what do you say?
"Hey, nice... existing near me."
"Thanks, you too. Love what you've done with your... door."
The worst is when you're both waiting for the elevator in complete silence. It's like a hostage situation, but with more awkward eye contact. You're both just standing there, praying the elevator comes before one of you has to comment on the weather.
stares ahead uncomfortably
"So... it's very... outside today."
I tried being one of those people who meal preps. You know these people? They spend their entire Sunday cooking seventeen identical containers of sad-looking chicken and broccoli. I bought all the containers, felt very organized, very adult-like.
Week one: Perfect little meals, properly labeled. I felt like a productivity guru.
Week two: I'm eating cereal for dinner and using the containers to store my collection of takeout sauce packets.
holds up imaginary container
"Ah yes, vintage soy sauce, 2023. A good week for Chinese delivery."
Speaking of food, grocery shopping as an adult is weird. When you're a kid, the grocery store is magical. Everything looks amazing. You want the cookies, the candy, the sugar cereal with the cartoon mascot.
Now I walk through the store like a tired parent, even though I don't have kids. I'm just disappointed in all my options.
walks slowly, shaking head
"This yogurt has too much sugar. These crackers have no fiber. Why is everything either terrible for you or tastes like cardboard had a baby with sadness?"
And I've started doing this thing where I read nutrition labels like I understand them. I don't. I just nod thoughtfully and put things back like I'm some kind of wellness expert.
"Hmm, seventeen grams of... things. That seems like too many things."
The real kicker is when you find yourself getting excited about household appliances. Last month, I spent twenty minutes explaining to my friend why I love my new vacuum cleaner. TWENTY MINUTES. About a vacuum.
"It has three different settings! And look at this attachment! This little brush thing goes in corners!"
My friend just stared at me like I'd been replaced by a suburban mom from 1987.
But you know what? I've decided to embrace it. Yes, I get excited about good storage solutions. Yes, I have opinions about thread count. Yes, I've used the phrase "back in my day" unironically, and I'm only thirty.
shrugs confidently
Because being an adult isn't about having it all figured out. It's about confidently pretending you know what you're doing while secretly googling "how to fold a fitted sheet" for the hundredth time.
And if that's not the American dream, I don't know what is.
pause
Also, if anyone actually knows how to fold a fitted sheet, please find me after the show. I'll pay you.

Thank you, you've been a wonderful audience! Don't forget to tip your servers and call your parents – they're worried about you!

"Adulting is Just Pretending You Know What You’re Doing"
(Casual, conversational tone—like you’re just venting to friends at a bar.)
1. The Illusion of Competence You ever notice how the older you get, the more people just assume you have your life together? Like, strangers see me walking down the street with a coffee and a tote bag, and they’re like, "Wow, she’s got it figured out." No, Karen, I’m just caffeine-dependent and this bag is full of unopened mail and a single granola bar I’ve been carrying around since 2019.
I went to IKEA last week—the adult Disneyland—and I saw a couple arguing over a bookshelf like it was a life-or-death decision. Sir, you’re holding a DVALA. It’s $20 and made of compressed sadness. If your relationship can’t survive assembling that, you don’t need a bookshelf, you need a therapist.
2. Grocery Shopping: The Ultimate Bluff Grocery stores are where I perform my best impression of a functional human. I walk in with a list, I grab a cart, I strategically pick up a bunch of kale like, "Yes, I am a woman who eats vegetables." Then I get to the checkout, and the cashier’s like, "Find everything okay?" And I’m like, "Oh yeah, totally," while secretly praying they don’t notice that half my cart is just different kinds of cheese and a single sad banana I’ll forget about until it’s a science experiment.
And don’t even get me started on self-checkout. That machine judges me. "Unexpected item in bagging area." Oh, sorry, Skynet, I didn’t realize I needed to scan my dignity too.
3. Dating in Your 30s: A Hostage Negotiation Dating after 30 is just two people with emotional baggage sitting across from each other, silently calculating how much therapy the other one will need. First dates now are just, "So, how many red flags do you have, and are any of them fun red flags?"
I went on a date last month, and the guy spent 20 minutes explaining his very specific system for folding fitted sheets. I was like, "Wow, you must be great at parties." He said, "I don’t go to parties." Of course you don’t.
And then there’s the "What are you looking for?" question. Like, I don’t know, Carol, a man who can assemble IKEA furniture without crying? Is that too much to ask?
4. The Lie of "Work-Life Balance" People are always like, "You gotta find that work-life balance!" Balance? I can’t even balance my checkbook. I use the "if the number’s green, I’m good" system.
My boss told me to "prioritize self-care," so I took a mental health day. You know what I did? Ate a whole pizza while watching The Office for the 12th time. Turns out, self-care is just doing whatever you want and calling it "wellness."
5. The Final Realization The truth is, nobody knows what they’re doing. We’re all just winging it, hoping we don’t get caught. My whole life is just me Googling things and pretending I knew the answer all along.
"How to unclog a drain?" "What’s the difference between baking soda and baking powder?" "Why do I still not own a cheese grater?"
And that’s okay. Because if you act like you know what you’re doing, people will believe you. That’s the real secret to adulthood. Fake it till you make it—or at least till you can afford therapy.
(Pause, sip water, shrug.)
Thanks, you guys are great. I’ll be in the parking lot crying if anyone needs me.
