At this point in my life I should have learned that if you want to tease a family member you should probably pick on someone smaller than you; the repercussions are far less damaging. Yesterday my family had a birthday party for my bro-in-law Scott, and I was doing fine until I started to pick on my brother. Boyd-o is 6 years older, has about 140 pounds on me, and is a full foot taller (yes, he really is 6’7″). So, it probably wasn’t the best idea to call him a “balding pansy”…. right? Why couldn’t I have kept my teasing safely confined to his twin boys? They are 3 and I can still toss them up to the ceiling without TOO much difficulty, thereby absolving me of any wrong-doing. Because I’m a total punk when it comes to teasing my brothers, that’s why. I took my walloping like a good girl, although I have a confession: I absolutely have not learned my lesson. Next family function I will find some new insult to throw his way and the beatings will begin!!
It is safer to tease one brother than two… good thing Jared wasn’t there or I would have been TOAST! Last time they got together I managed to get wrestled to the ground and attacked with the garden hose… and I’m sure I deserved it.

Disclaimer: Boyd is neither balding nor a pansy…
this should buy me at least 10 minutes of safety next time I see him.

Buying 10 min. is pushing it. I would say only about as long as it takes me to catch you once I see you!! And yes, I will be soliciting help from my dear brother noombsy!! YOU ARE TOAST!!

Comment by heidikins 2006 September 18 @ 11:22 amMaybe you should make cookies anyway…. next time you see him you will be moving, and asking his help to carry how many boxes of books up to a penthouse (something you had failed to mention earlier… glad you don’t have a piano.
