Lorna was saying how as a child she lived two doors down from her cousins, with Grandma in between. There was a girl cousin her age, Beverly, and Lorna and Beverly were always responsible for Beverly's younger twin brothers. Beverly would be in charge of one and Lorna in charge of the other. Even if they were going out for a walk or anywhere, they had to take the twins with them.
Lorna talks about how funny that was, because she didn't have to take her little brother with her, but somehow she and Beverly got snagged for looking after those twins.
Lorna and Beverly were close until Lorna, who was a year older in school, moved on to the Junior High, while Beverly was still at the grade school. Suddenly Lorna thought she was too important to hang out with Beverly anymore, and when Lorna ignored her after school, Beverly would feel sad and would run and tell their Grandma all about how Lorna was being mean to her.
Unfortunately they didn't stay in close contact after Lorna moved to Salt Lake.
