Steph is no longer one of us.
Not that she ever really was.

Family Communication
This about sums it up.
Opposite….Is Opposite
Guy: “I just assumed you and your sister had the exact same personality.”
And then I laughed so hard, I cried.
Two things Steph would never do.
That Time Steph Cared
A few days ago, out of nowhere, Steph texted the sibling group chat (never something she does unless it’s to share pictures of our porkpie nephew), proactively expressing a degree of interest/care over something happening in our lives.
Here was the reaction:
Then, hours later (fittingly)….
I’m pretty sure this post will ensure it never happens again.
Emails From My Brothers #16: Mom’s COK Voice
(Part of the Emails From My Brothers series.)
For reference, Jeremy is temporarily (we hope) back in the basement.
Favorite
A few years ago, my whole family was sitting around the living room in Maryland, reading this Time Magazine article about sibling dynamics and favoritism. So naturally, I put my parents on the spot and asked who their favorite child is. They answered at the exact same time.
Mom: “I don’t have a favorite.”
Dad: “Em.”
The Line Is a Dot to Me
It seems I took things a little too far in my post Lost and Found, and Jeremy wasn’t so thrilled with me:
So after that, and as his loving big sis, you can imagine how I’m now feeling.
His friends AND his ex read my blog, guys!!!
Lost and Found
That moment when you find a random earring in between the cushions of your couch that definitely doesn’t belong to you, so you can only assume it belongs to some chick your brother banged the last time he crashed at your place.
Ladies– anyone recognize or wanna claim it?
Yeah That Makes It Better
At sibling dinner, explaining a situation (from a while ago) when he ended things with a girl he was seeing.
Jeremy: “Well, we weren’t really in a RELATIONSHIP, so it’s not like I went over there to break up with her. I just went to say goodbye.” (long pause) “Forever.”
Things I Wish I Had Known Sooner
At sibling dinner, debating what is/is not “slutty” behavior as a single adult.
Me: “Well you know what they say, you have to sleep with a lot of frogs…”
Zack: “I’m pretty sure it’s ‘you have to kiss a lot of frogs.'”
Oh.
Well this changes everything.
