I snapped a few photos of my not-so-little brother back when I was at home in May. He’s funny and his name is Carl. A little quirky, witty and his friends call him Curby. I wish I could be a little closer just to hang with this guy. He will make you laugh to you cry and always always has the best come-back. Like a missle in the water….he’ll getcha every time. I’ve got so many hiliarious memories of the shenanigans we used to get into. Like the time we tried to make rice crispie cake when I was baby-sitting him…at the time me 12 y him 9 yrs old…where we tried to do it on the stove, cereal and all, tried to mix it in a bowl that was much to small. We even sprayed the glass baking sheet in Pam. When it came out rock hard and like a piece of styrofoam on a slip-in-slide inside the glass baking sheet, Mom ate in anyway. Being the good Mom that she is she showed us a better way to make it even using the microwave and a massive bowl. As we watch her use the bright yellow tupperware bowl to mix the cereal in with the mashmallowy goodness Carl sighs,” that’s where we went wrong”.
Oh and the day we got our little Honda 50 dirtbike, Carl was 6. Spoting his oversized orange helmet and somewhat resembling a miniture bobble head. He got on, gunned the throttle and ran it straight into the house about 30 yrds away. Picked himself up off the ground and througha bloody nose and a few tears announced “I’m not riding that thing again till im 91!!”. Lucky for me I didnt have to share for a few days!! Unfortunately he forgot about the 91 thing and eventually dominated the farm yard on that little red rocket.
Wow and now Carl’s going to be a teacher!! Starting the Business Education program through the U of W this fall!! WAY TO GO!!!! Congrats Carl Im super proud of you!!!!
