Sometimes, I just want to smack the hell out of my brother
Ugggggg. He's driving here to get my spare bed and bring it back to the house. So, I call him to see how far away he is right now.

"Y'know, I've told you I don't like you asking me where I am all the time"

"Yeah, but I need to know when you're going to get here"

"Listen, I'm doing this as a favor for you. I'll get there when I get there."

:mad:

Earlier this week, he flipped out on me and started screaming b/c I suggested he soak a pan that he scorched overnight...

"Don't tell me how to live my life!!!"

:wtf:

Sigh.

4. This is why i am often glad
that the only Y-chromo beings i have in my world all the time are LyricKid and an assortment of professors that we're freindly with.

Kids will be kids, and the profs have figured out long ago how to act like humans.

Fortunately, i think you found another one (sniffa) who's civilized; well, as long as he doesn't spend TOO much time with co-worker Dave. *L*

6. Does his age match his behavior?
Sounds like a man who won't leave adolescence... But who am I to speculate? :)

7. No, he's 26
What with Mom's situation, we're both under an incredible amount of stress. But somehow, I'm able to not act like a complete ass to everyone. Grr.

9. Call him again and tell him you got rid of the bed on Craigslist, so he doesn't need to pick it up
after all. :evilgrin:

14. Or, at the front door, "We decided to keep it. You were disinterested and aloof,
so we decided to take this one on the chin. Thanks for coming all this way, though. Later, tater."

*door closes, lights dim*

11. Pick up a pillow. Call it by your brother's name while you're smacking the hell out of it.
:+
You know it's the stress talking. Family dynamics can become exceptionally weird at times like this.
:hug:
