At Least I'm Not the Only One

Recently, my sister called for a chat. She is eleven years older than me, so I often tease her about her advanced age. However, our most recent conversation focused on my age, instead:

Me: I totally hate it, I'm starting to get wrinkles! I have these little lines around my eyes, they're awful.

My sister: That's ridiculous. How could you have wrinkles? I'm way older than you, and I don't have any wrinkles!

Me: Are you sure?

Her: Of course! Hold on, I'll go check...

[clomp, clomp, clomp] I hear her walk to the bathroom.
[thwick] I hear the light switching on as she peers in the mirror.

Pause...

Her: Aaahh!!! What happened to my face?!!

Me: [hysterical laughter]
