When he was tiny, our mother was inspired to try parental multitasking: she was nursing him while reading a book to me, when all of sudden he let out a holler. I had calmly reached over and chomped down on his foot. Damn it, read to me and stop that nonsense with the baby!
This is a picture of him when he was about nine. Is it any surprise that he's grown up to be an omnivore with a distinct predilection for pork?Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Magpie's brother!
ReplyDelete(my little brother's birthday is tomorrow)
Aww; cute photo and H.B. to him.
ReplyDeleteAnd to you and niobe, lucky ducks. I always wanted a little brother. Instead I had a big brother who treated me like his personal punching bag. Some of the time. To be fair.
Happy birthday! Is that a LIVE pig on the kitchen counter?!
ReplyDeleteVery definitely not alive, and destined for a roasting pan in short order! Childhood tradition of pig roasts in our parents' circle of friends
ReplyDeletehappy birthday, indeed.
ReplyDeletelol! that's adorable. but where on earth did that pig come from?! was it a pet?
ReplyDeleteHope your brother's birthday was happy! I'm a little sad about the pig -- I was hoping it was an odd pet or something.
ReplyDeleteHey, he looks a little like Leif Garrett... before the drug addiction and murderous car accidents...
