i am the walrus!

i read this the other day on MLIA it's too magnificent not to share.

Today, I came home to my mom scowling, my dad smirking, and my little sister grinning. Apparently, my sister got into a fight with a fellow 5th grader, saying that the Beatles pwned the Jonas Brothers. My sister and the girl argued until my sister tackled her while yelling, "I am the walrus! Goo goo g'joob!" I have never before felt like such a positive influence to my siblings. MLIA

best sister ever.

i also want to share with you a memory i have of me and my brother as really really young kids.
when we were like four/five, my mum took us to this park. it was always super busy with mums and trillions of kids and sometimes dads too.
today, we were over on the swings at the corner of the park. from here we could see our mum talking to the father of some other children.

(now bear in mind we used to watch like three different soap operas a night as children - that's where i think this idea stemmed from)

my brother turns to me and says:

'do you think that's my real dad?'

being the older sister by a whole fourteen months, i felt it my duty to tell him to stop being so stupid. however, i egged him on instead.

'i think you should go over and ask.'

so then i watched, from a safe distance, as my little brother waddled up to this random stranger, talking to my mother, and asks - rather loudly - if he is his biological father.
turns out he was just a friend from school. she took us home shortly after that.

this is the reason parents embarrass their children. because we wreaked absolute havoc upon them once.

ps. mum still doesn't know it was my idea.
