Conversations with my Brother

Monday, October 27th, 2008

A word on an October breakup:

Me: So will you carve my pumpkin?

The bro: Yeah.

Me: Into what?

The Bro: Something cool.  Like a face.  Or a guy getting kicked in the crotch.

On sickness:

Me: Remember when Mom used to get mad when we had a cough that lasted all night?*

The bro: Yeah.  Remember when I had chronic cough because I smoked so much weed?**

Me: When? When you lived here?

The bro: When I lived in BYU approved housing.***

Me: Oh, you mean the chronic cough I assumed was something to do with your collapsed lung and I took you to the doctor and you told him you didn’t do drugs and gave you antibiotics for what I assumed was some sort of adult croup or whooping cough?

The bro: Yeah.

*Disclaimer: My mother was not mad at us as children, just as semi-adults who were too lazy to get up and take cough medicine.

**Disclaimer two: As far as we know, he no longer smokes weed.

***Note: He said this with a wicked smirk.
