Is your sister 3 years older than you? That would be too perfect.

Well, my mother was a children's entertainer in my formative years- she played a mischevious clown at other childrens birthday parties, accompanied by her theatre troupe from college. On
my birthday parties we all danced to Little Richard albums and ate french fancies. My father was and is a schoolteacher so that obviously had the effect on me to nurture an academic nature into me- we all read the Beatrice Potter and Enid Blyton books together and didn't watch much TV at all really, though I remember sometimes I was allowed to watch
The X-Files,
Jonathan Creek, and
The Simpsons. Smart television- it helps.
My sister is not that much older than me but she certainly acted it. As I've been told, girls are little shits to bring up and will bring you more trouble than boys will.
