The Man in Red (who shall not be named)


Mr B has laid down the law to lil brother. He is going to see the man in red-like it or not. Mr B will not back down from this. Lil brother, on principle, is a conscientious objector. And I can’t blame him. I sure wouldn’t want to have to explain some of his “tricks” this past year.

Mr B: “You are going to take a shower and wear church clothes! (the kiss of death) It’s like going to confession. You just gotta look him in the eye and face the music.” (We’re not Catholic-btw-because lil brother and I would never leave the parking lot.)
Lil brother (nervous giggling): “Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

I kinda feel sorry for lil brother. Being good is just more stressful for some than others. Just glad it’s not me…

  1. I'm sure Santa will be entertained by Lil Bro's charm and wit and overlook his foibles. After all, even Santa needs a belly laugh now and then :-)
