The Secret Is Out...

I have a wonderful brother

~CHARLIE~
He is one of the joys of my life

even though he lives on the East Coast

and I live in the Midwest.

When we get together we never stop laughing.

MyHero walks around shaking his head

wondering what we are laughing about.

Charlie and I think the same things are funny...

Like when someone means to say one thing

and says another...

For instance MyHero

(who is sometimes distracted)

telling Mimi that her coat was ringing..

(he meant the phone)

Charlie & I would laugh hysterically.

MyHero would tell us

IT'S! NOT! THAT! FUNNY!

Hmmmm...maybe not to him...

Anyway, Charlie has a new woman in his life.

I have talked to her once but

have talked about her several times.

Charlie is very happy.

I can see him smiling over the phone.

But...

There are a few things that Ma Cherie doesn't know about

my brother, Charlie.

By now she has probably figured out he is a hard worker.

He gained that experience early in life

on the farm.

As you can see he was good at

feeding those flipping turkeys...

the stupidest bird God ever put on Earth..

but that is a rant for another day.He was also a good little helper inside.

He liked to bake pancakes Although on occasion he would become a bit confused.

Was he supposed to be AT the stove..

or IN it.

But, Ma Cherie, the deeper secret is this...

When he was little I would dress him up

in MY clothes.

He swore he didn't like it.

He swore that it was only because he was too little to protest.

HOWEVER..

As I was going through my pictures the other day..

I found this...

Certainly he was old enough

to have dressed himself that day.

He will probably lie and tell you it was

Halloween...or...Something..

But...take a piece of advice from

The Big Sister..

The one who knows him well.

Check your closet!
