Grounded again!
Kevin and I were grounded so often that we used to lay in the doorways of our bedrooms and color in coloring books. Our rooms were close enough that we would borrow crayons from each other and just toss them across the hall way.
When we were grounded, Kevin and would sneak outside and play. About 30 minutes befor Mom got home we would run home, wash our feet, and do our chores. Then we would go to our rooms like we had been there the entire time. I don't ever remember a time when we ever told on each other for being outside.
My mom took Kevin and I to the grocery store one day. She put a couple of cans of peas into the cart. Kevin and I look at each other and squinched up our faces. Neither of us enjoyed peas. Kev and I reached in the cart when Mom was not looking and put them back on the shelf. We went through the checkout without Mom noticing. After getting home, we were putting the groceries away. Mom was putting the last bag away when she said, "I thought I bought peas." Kev and I started laughing. We did not get in troubel, she just laughed.
Mom went through a vegitarian stage. Bean Sprouts were on the menu, often. Another dish Kev and I could live without. Our little kids table was located in the kitchen next to the trash can. When Mom left the room Kev would lift some stuff up in the trash and I would scrape out bean sprouts into it. Another one of our tricks was to get a little brown paper bag and put the bean sprouts in it. I would then take the bag and sprouts into my room and toss it in the guinie pig cage. That damn guinie pig never would eat them but, after a few days I could remove the bag and cart it to the trash.
I sure do miss my baby brother. He was a good brother and I'm glad he chose to come to earth and be my friend and my little brother. While he was here he made sure that I had some great memories of him and funny stories to tell. He was so funny. I would choose him again even if I knew he would only hang out with me for 39 years. At least I had 39 years.
He still hangs out with but now it's different. I have some complaints. He never signs the Christmas or Birthday cards I send out. He is so lazy now. He does not help clean the house. He just sits around on the shelf watching tv or watching the dogs play. He is however, a very quiet roommate. I love him very much even though he is a little dusty.
I love and miss you very very very much Kevin. You should have stuck around a little longer, things change daily.
