You know all that jazz about brothers being annoying and the worst possible life sentence God could have ever dropped on us?  Yeah.  Well, I just don't have that plague.  I have really cool brothers.

Ben is the exception.

He's awesome.

 I mean how many guys do you know that wear pink and let you take pictures of them by flowers?  Oh yeah.  The pink thing.  I have to show you this picture.  Hold on a sec....

But that's not really fair.  Jared's incredible.  Caleb's rock solid.  Timothy's inspiring.  Michael's cute.  Anyway....

I just happen to like Ben a lot.  No favoritism.  Because Jared's my best friend.  Caleb's my protector.  Timothy's my special little brother.  I love Michael like crazy.

I digress, because surely if you aren't rolling your eyes you at LEAST get the point by now.

There's no other love like the love for a brother.

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.

Ben's a goofball.  His gift is making people laugh.  He works hard for the specified amount of time, and then has fun.

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.

I imagine this being a conversation Ben has with his wife someday:

Ben: "Do you like gardinia's?"
Wife: " Why Yes I Adore Them. How did you know?"

Ben: " I Didn't so I got you a forget-me-not instead." (from The Marx brothers)

That was a knee slapper Lis!  C'mon!  I'm serious, that right there was funny!  Ya hafta admit it!

It snowed last year too:
I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down
and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.
-Dylan Thomas

That's pretty much why I love brothers.  They don't have a choice about it.  I don't have a choice about what brothers I get.  It's just mysterious and insane.  And I love it.

Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.
-Marc Brown

Mostly, I love the way he praises the Lord on the piano.  It's beautiful.  I spent ten years of my life learning to play and read difficult pieces of music, and Ben just PLAYS and it's gorgeous.  Inspiring.  Touching.

Oh yeah, that's another thing about brothers.  They outdo you with EVERRRRYYYYTHHHIIINNNNG.  Oh well!


Yours,

Lis

PS: Words of wisdom from the peanut gallery.  If you want to know how your girl will treat you after marriage, just listen to her talking to her little brother.
