we were 6 1/2 and 3 1/2 and the flowergirl and ringbearer in my aunt's wedding
getting older...
...and still as close....a couple of days late. So, technically, National Sibling's Day was 2 days ago but I am just getting around to posting this little tribute to my little brother, Kevin. At about 11:45pm my time, I finally got to talk to him. He had returned my phone call and I excitedly said, "Happy Sibling's Day!" To which he replied, "What?????" He, along with most of the other people in the nation, did not realize that this day was so special. He then tried to play it cool and pull the wool by saying, "Yes...that is exactly why I called...to wish you a Happy National Sibling's Day." Well, anyways, we got to talk about lots of funny memories and antecdotes from our childhood that had us both rolling. Like our favorite burt and ernie clip from sesame street, and the three amigos...we really loved that movie and quoted it for a very long time. AND...he said that he can't stop thinking about all kinds of cool words; (refer to a couple of posts ago); and that it was a good "blopic.". He would think, "Wow...I just wasted 30 minutes of my life thinking of how nicely that word just rolls of my tongue." Then we came up with some really cool words...like, dad gummit, menagerie, and superb. It was a fun conversation and I'm glad that I got to talk to him. I'm glad that there is a National Sibling's Day. I'm more glad that I have a brother. I'm even more glad that he is him.

You were quite the blond bombshell when you were younger. Actually, in the first pic, so was your brother but let's agree that "blond bombshell" is not necessarily the label a guy wants. No matter how old he is. Well, unless he's got legs and "tendencies" like that one Arquette sibling, and then it may be the best compliment you could give him.
So... how distasteful is it if I call my 3 brothers and try to pass today off as Happy Sibling day? Don't get me wrong, I have some smart brothers, but they're not THAT aware.
