Oh, I hope my boys get to have these lunches and conversations when they’re all grown up. By the way, I see a recurring theme now on your blog, involving various eateries. Maybe the next one will be with my kids at Chuck-E-Cheese? Just kidding, I’ve never even been to the place.

Brothers are the best. I’m on the phone with mine weekly.

You have captured the essence of your brother perfectly! What great fun.

Isn’t amazing how we are always some version of our kid selves when we’re with our siblings? I’m never more immature than when I’m with my brothers (nor more naggy). Clearly, they bring out the best in me. :)

As the only sister between two brothers, I pride myself on being a wet blanket. ;)

Why do sisters always say no to the fun stuff. Dropping a lemon on the head of an unsuspecting stranger is great fun, or so I suspect. I would never know about such things from personal experience.

Thank you, Kristen, for giving us this day our Pain Quotidien, as luminescent and nourishing and filled with universe as any roll mentally munched at the end of a James Joycian stream of collective consciousness. By synchrony-sake today happens to be a special sibling day for me as well. Here’s wishing love, mirth and adventures to all our sibs.

As I get older, that’s the BEST thing about having a sibling – they bring you right back. And it’s more fun.

(By the way, this was brilliantly told, drew me right in. I wanted to be there with you. and I may or may not have started singing too.)
