I couldn’t resist. Especially since I love my sister so.

Growing up as kids, being the elder sibling by 3 years, my sister and I certainly had our share of arguments, fights, and spats. I would like to say we were equally at fault with teasing each other, but I was mostly the instigator.

Now that we’re both grown, I relish the opportunity to tease her even well into our 20s. It’s just too hard to resist.

The above picture? Well, I was Skyping with my sister this evening, since she and her husband are currently living in Bolivia. In conversation about Thanksgiving tomorrow, I told her I was making French’s Green Bean and Onion casserole, a reference to which made her cringe in jealousy. (You can’t get French’s onions in Bolivia).

Now the next move tells you exactly what kind of a wonderful brother I am. I actually go get the can of French’s dried onions and start snacking on it while connected via video chat. Sheer torture.

Don’t worry. I really do love my sister.

Now you tell me which is worse….this move, or the move two years ago when I performed a song at her wedding reception, a song entitled “Let’s Go on Safari Into My Sister’s Nose”.

   No, no no, the worst part is the fact that I am 20 weeks pregnant and I have been CRAVING for the last 3 week good green bean casserole. Mean brother. Mean! :-D
