It's just wrong to have a younger brother--younger by seven years!--who weighs more than I do, is taller than I am, and can pick me up and carry me across the room. (Even when I'm shrieking put me down, you idiot! and hitting him over the top of the head.) I was his second mother. I changed his diapers, I fed him his first smashed peas, I held his hand when he learned to walk, I taught him to read. *scratches head* I grew up, but that doesn't mean everyone else gets to. Sheesh.

Haha, I know the feeling. I've gotten used to it now, but at first it was pretty strange!

I love being an adult too. I know some people who seem to be really afraid of it, but man... in so many ways being an adult is so much more fun than being a child You finally get to be the person you want to be, and do the things you want to do! I love it.

I think it is more fun than being a kid, even if it comes with its own whole set of annoyances and stresses.

Re: Younger Brothers

I KNOOOOW! We just discoverd my 14-year-old brother is officially taller than me (at with my being 5'6", that's not too shabby). *weep* It's wrong! So wrong! I protest!

My oldest younger brother is 15. (yep, there is a big age gap. Long story!)

O____O

Seriously, not fair. Not right! Younger brothers should never be allowed to be taller than their older sisters. Or not until they're 30.

I still like Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus best, but this new one is awfully good. =)
