51. Being the 2nd of 4 boys

Mon Mar 9, 2026, 09:05 AM

Monday

I have so many to choose from.

One stands out, on one Easter morning everyone is getting ready for the obligatory visit to church, my younger brother was in the bath tub, my older brother was standing near the tub. I don’t recall what started it but my older brother made me mad so I pushed him in the tub, fully dressed ready to go.

Needless to say my butt suffered the consequences.
