Brothers and Sisters

3.25.2008


Conversation overheard this weekend while the kids were watching a basketball game in the living room:

Bayley: Wow! Those guys from Perdue must have had a long trip. Where is Perdue anyway?

Kendra: Duh. It's in South America.

And later, I asked Bayley where Kendra was and he said, "She's probably in her room practicing rolling her eyes."

She's twelve, which explains that.

I keep telling them they will actually like each other in about fifteen years.

Tammy :

Bayley's reply about where Kendra was is priceless! :D

Nadine :

That's just great. Made me smile.

Here's a little hope. My girl 24 and boy 22 are the best of friends now. He lives in LA and she at school in WA and they communicate all the time. She even flew to LA to stay with him for a visit.

Happy Working Mom :

That just cracks me up - in her bedroom practicing rolling her eyes! Ha! I swear my 17 year old must do that from time to time also.

That is just awesome...how true! They probably will really like each other, but you are right...it could be about 10-15 years!

Jill,
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and leaving such a sweet comment about my dad...yes! March 25th holds a lot of significance to a few others, too!

Your children and family are beautiful...and the stories I read are precious! I especially love the ones of Adam, he really reminds me of my son!!! But, I loved how the 2 older ones "read" each other...too funny!! Believe me they will be very close one day...I have a daughter 28 and a son 25...and they are really very close friends! They also love each others spouses, too...so that makes for some wonderful family get-togethers.

Keep enjoying each moment as they come...they only get better...well, mostly!! lol

blessings...
Teresa

Susan :

Yes, they will grow to love each other....I tell myself everyday..."they will, they will, they will".

Hugs,

Susan

Staci :

Priceless! But it's so true that it takes about 15 years to realize how much your sibling means to you!!

justabeachkat :

Too funny! You're so smart to write all this down.

Hugs!
