Bigger Brother & the Fire
Here is a funny story for you about child number two, formally known as Our Youngest (he is now Bigger Brother, and Our Eldest is Biggest Brother, BTW). We were at a gathering at a friends house who had a little patio fire pit. The kids were excited to have a fire to throw bunches of paper into. Anyway, Me and another Friend were sitting round the fire with Bigger Brother. No one else around. Our Friend, who is great with kids, asks Bigger Brother what they should name the stuff going into the fire. They had been telling stories about the burning... Bigger Brother pipes up, John Edwards, (Our Friend had mentioned him about five minutes back). Our friend says nah, how about something else, but Bigger Brother sticks to his guns. Pretty soon he is tossing in chunks of card board into the fire, seriously, and fiercely saying, "Your going down John Edwards, your going down", while pointing a finger at the fire. Oh it was funny. Maybe it's a had to be there to get it funny, but I was in tears... Labels: AW |
