"The creepiest thing happened last night," she told me.
"Oooooh. What?" I asked, instantly intrigued.
"I went upstairs, and guess what Ben was doing?"
Ben is my younger brother. He could be doing a lot of strange things. The possibilities seemed endless.
"Oh my God. What was he doing?"
My mom stopped for an appropriate dramatic pause before saying, "He was talking to a girl. He's going on a date tonight."
My mom and I then exclaimed over how young he is, and how this is all so weird to us.
Did I mention the fact that Ben is sixteen-years-old and a junior in high school?
What is it about the youngest of the family always seeming so, well, young?
The 'baby' will always be just that - the baby. We never expect all of life's events to happen to that person. Perhaps this is because it will be the last time an older sister/brother, mom/dad gets to share in the experience.
ReplyDeleteahah i agree! i still think of my brother as a little kid but he's in college and is like 4 inches taller than me!
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet. Wonder what they are doing on their date.
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable! And I love your delivery of the story too- "he's my younger brother. He could be doing a lot of strange things." ha. ha. Hope he has fun on his date! I agree about younger siblings - my youngest sister just turned 16 this fall and I'm like there's no way she can be driving now- I just got my license! :P
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! So funny. I hear ya - my sister is in college and she is still such a baby to me:)
ReplyDeleteLol, so funny Jenna! I´m the youngest in our family, and I don´t think my Mom ever discussed my dating debuts with my older brother...now that would have been weird! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
