Everyone Should Be Lucky Enough to Have an Older Brother

I'm not (although Master Potemkin (aka maestro poopie) does a pretty good job in that department), but I am so happy my daughters do.

This morning, Eden started crawling up the steps. She really has no clue what she is doing while she is doing it, so I told Ezra to make sure to stand behind her so she wouldn't fall.

Here is what Ezra said to me, "Mom, I will always be behind her, I'm her older brother."

Wow, we should all be so lucky. Hopefully these feeling will continue at least through Gila and Eden dating and getting married:)

We had a girl first. Her friends will be too old for boys 1 and 2 and their friends will be too young for her.

I was quite upset that I was not named as a potential older brother in your article. I think I could qualify due to:

a) I am male; b) I am older than you; c) I lived under the same roof; d) we constantly made fun of each other (when you were not crying); e) I allegedly punched you in the arm on several occasions (which I completely deny); f) I informed the general public of your current love interests; g) 101 ways to meet boys; h) turn the radio up for that sweet sound; i) I received the extended silent treatment on a regular basis; j) you could never beat me at Trivial Pursuit (unless Dova helped you); k)according to the IDF, we have the same parents; l) the list could go on and on...

Please be more considerate in the future.

How could I have been so inconsiderate? I am glad you finally deemed my blog worthy enough to comment on;).

OK, you are definitely right and as your wife always reminds me, you and I are blood related. Although I definitely have to call you out on your revisionist history. You may have beat me in the sports categories of TP but not on anything else, There was no "allegedly" in the arm punching, and finally, we all know who the real cry baby was. Nuff said. Wow what a pleasure it was to have you as an honorary older brother!
