Yesterday as my youngest brother was leaving he told Art, it was nice to meet him. The rest of us aren't sure what that's all about but we all told each other it "nice to meet you" as we left.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242749790106142868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-71310485283454010322008-11-26T05:03:00.000-06:002008-11-26T05:03:00.000-06:00There must be something to that "older sister dram...There must be something to that "older sister drama for a younger brother in adulthood-thing." My husband went through similar trials and tribulations with his sister. He loves her, but she tests his patience.<BR/><BR/>I always joke that I have a short fuse and a loud bomb at the end--but it doesn't do much damage but it's loud. My husband on the other hand, has a very long fuse but the bomb at the end is atomic. Run! Our kids know to RUN if he explodes.<BR/><BR/>My husband always brushed off his jealous older sister's comments. Eh, no big deal. Until the day. You know the one--the day the atomic bomb went off at his parents house. Whoa! He blew.<BR/><BR/>Her husband, my MIL and I were in the room with them. She made her usual jab at him and I guess the fuse had burned down. My MIL and I left the room as the bomb went off. Her husband stayed to watch (quite sporting of him). She was absolutely stunned and when he was done with her, he walked into the room where my MIL and I were and announced, "Well! That's felt good. I'm not taking crap from her anymore!" We burst into fits of laughter. She's better. Not great, but better. Now I think he enjoys letting her have it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-2255830447721043042008-11-26T00:24:00.000-06:002008-11-26T00:24:00.000-06:00The phrase that has lasted in our family is when m...The phrase that has lasted in our family is when my brother showed our family the tattoo he got on the back of his head and our mother angrily said "Well Happy Birthday to Me".<BR/><BR/>It wasn't funny at the time, but it has been funny for many years since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-57400113312054943262008-11-25T18:15:00.000-06:002008-11-25T18:15:00.000-06:00In my family, for the last ten years or so, every ...In my family, for the last ten years or so, every time you get a card for your birthday it will say - Thanks for the walks on the beach!

And my brother's wife is also my sister-in-law, but not dh's sister-in-law, yes? But what is my dh's half sister to me? Is she my half sister-in-law? I am so confused! April, you've hurt my brain three times today!<BR/><BR/>In my family we (and I mean just my brother and I) like to say, "It's only a wafer-thin after dinner mint." Then we laugh at how this innocent phrase makes our mother look like she's going to puke buckets. That reminds me, it's almost her birthday. Time to get her a box of after dinner mints.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-65561972626184217802008-11-24T14:30:00.000-06:002008-11-24T14:30:00.000-06:00That's a great story!
