When we brought Christopher home, Julia just stood on the hearth, shaking her head "no".
I was 11 mo old when my brother came home. I hit him in the head with a hanger. We get along a bit better now.
Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One of my friends, at age 3 (or maybe 2 1/2), tried to bring her new baby brother to the exchange counter at Macy's.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
McCarthy, JFK, MLK, Malcom X, JFK, Watts riots, Watergate [...] Challenger, fall of the Berlin Wall, fall of the Soviet Union, Sep 11, Columbia and now, Katrina...
Check it, beloved. Some of of us have all that and are waiting for the next thing.

By the time I realized what a pain my sister was going to be, it was too late to send her back. I was initially lulled by multiple readings of the Little Golden Book "The New Baby."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We're due for a good one next, right? Right?!?!

Love it.
My mom did my dishes one time that she stayed with me. I figure it's a "thanks for letting me use your place" gift.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I impressed a guy at my high school reunion with my knowledge of Ron Jeremy, back before The Surreal Life.
My brother said when he was watching "The Boondock Saints" with my parents, my dad snickered in recognition when Ron Jeremy first appeared on screen. My mom wanted to know what was funny and my dad kept insisting it was nothing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Putting all of that aside .. how cute is erkija?
This cute!
And with Gussykins we're talking some MAJOR armspan.
Are we trying to scare Cash with tales of sibling rivalry? I adored my sisters from the second I met them. Utterly. I considered them MY babies. For my fourth birthday I wanted a big Holly Hobbie doll and a little Holly Hobbie doll. Whenever someone asked me what I wanted that's what I said. Finally, my Father said, "Honey, you usually only get ONE doll for a present. Why do you want two?" "The big one is for me, and the little one is for Baby Sarah." (Apparently I explained this to him in a very patient tone. I got both dolls.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have no younger siblings. My sister is 14 years older. It was like having two mothers. shudder
Come to think of it, this may be why I never wanted kids... no little siblings to practice on.

I'm the younger sibling so I wonder how my bro reacted when I came home.
Sarameg, I'm smiling at the thought of Las Cruces = Juneau.
Okay, I lost my copy of the Aeneid. I haven't read it yet and I was supposed to have finished it by tomorrow. So, should I go to the bookstore now to get a copy because it's better to have one to at least page through to follow along on the convo or should I just say fuck it?
