I never had a brother. I have great sisters, but I think the three of us would agree that we missed out by not having boys in our house growing up. My friends with brothers would tell me how lucky I was because brothers are stinky and gross and they beat sisters up and they are mean for no reason. But, secretly I wanted that. Consequently, I just love boys. My best friends growing up were boys. Boys are just easier to be friends with. There is no drama. They are loyal. They tell you how it is and they don't get offended. They are mysterious and strange. They don't take life too seriously and they make it so much more fun.
Girls, on the other hand are LAME. Show me a girl, that says she's your friend and I will show you someone who will stab you in the back the second you turn around. There is no worse sound to me than a bunch of cackling women at a restaurant having lunch. "Oh your shoes are so stinkin' cute" "Oh I love your purse" "Oh you are so skinny" blah blah blah, lies lies lies. They really just can't wait for you to leave so that they can rip you to shreds. I only trust my sisters, they are just like me, they don't talk FAKE to me, they get me and they don't talk about me behind my back. But I digress.
I have several brothers in law. (And a fabulous sister in law.) They are all very good looking and very sweet to me and I am lucky. And I hope he doesn't mind, but my "brother" Court has really impressed me and I want him to know that I admire him for the good boy he is and for how hard he is trying. And for how hard he works to keep our country safe. And for sacrifices that he makes in order to keep his priorities straight. And even though circumstances aren't perfect, he maintains a positive attitude and has such humorous outlook on things. And Sunday was a great day and I am glad that we got to be a part of it and witness the joy and happiness on your face.
So, to those "brothers" who aren't really brothers, but I like to pretend that you are... it sure is fun to say I have you and get to hang with you from time to time because not one of you are stinky or gross or mean. And so far I haven't even been beaten up once.

"Geez Kac, such issues...but I digress...I'm glad you have all these lovable boys/brothers in your life. Boys AND girls...each have their own gifts/talents to bring to the table, it's nice when people can see the value in their different roles. I personally, lean toward the girls, we haven't been all that successful with boys. Since you are the mother of soooo many girls, you might want to start looking for their good qualities, it will help their self-esteem!
Well said. Noone needs any of the fakeness that most girls bring! I hope you are doing good. You look great. Any names picked out yet?
