A late-night moment

[eleneariel]

Things that make me happy:
-pink silk sweaters
-best friends that get it
-being a grown up

Things that confuse me:
-people
-tax papers
-being a grown up

Things that amaze me:
-rose petals
-potatoes
-being a grown up

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.
