Favorite memory with Bobby...Happy 20th Bday!!!


Today my little brother turns 20 years old. So weird. I love him to death. My favorite memory of us being "us" is when we went swimming at the public pool (just me & him). It was in the summer and it was horribly HOT. Mom dropped us off and said she was going to be picking us up in a few hours while she ran some errands. So Bobby and I hung out at the pool, playing in the water. We got out and headed for the entrance for mom. As we waited, a man in tight (I mean TIGHT) swim shorts walked out with his son, probably about 4 or 5 years old. It was a funny sight because the mans shorts were so tight his gut hung low, past the draw string and it looked like they belonged to his 5 year old son. Bobby and I threw humored glances at one another and just stood there quietly giggling. All of a sudden there was a horrible tearing sound, "ssssssssrrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaccccchhhhh!!!!" and we just knew those poor shorts were in pain! Sure enough the man was so embarrassed because his swim shorts ripped in half! He grabbed his son and shoved the little boy in front of himself in order to block the goods and shuffled back into the men's locker room! The little boy had a look of shock and humor and confusion on his face too, just like his dad! Bobby and I cracked up so much we were cast into a state of drunkenness with humor! We were leaning on one another for support to even stand and then it happened...our knees gave out and we stumbled into the hot street and hit the fiery asphalt. I scraped my knees and elbows and burnt myself in the process because the ground was so HOT! We both got up in pain, embarrassment and shock because WE looked stupid ourselves...but it was still funny because we couldn't help but turn around and laugh as we looked at the swim shorts laying in a puddle of water where the man once stood. Mom picked us up and we re-told the story to her. She didn't think it was so funny.
