You might want to reflect on that.

My mom used to call one of her cousins "Chubby" since they were kids. I was taught growing up that this person's name was "Chubby." (She was never chubby in the time that I knew her but that wasn't the point.) Turns out, she hated being called "Chubby" even though nobody meant it as an insult. She finally brought it up and asked everyone to please stop calling her "Chubby." And so now we refer to her by her actual name. She prefers that. Turns out there were all these bad feelings for years, but nobody knew. We were idiots though. How could we think "Chubby" was OK?

Anyway, I'm glad your sister is staying with you and you are happy about it.
