The Penis: Something You Can't Control

Brothers

There are few things in life that can equal the joy which stems from being an older brother of triplets. Simply put, I have the most original, beautiful, loving, and funny brothers in the world. In a recent email, my mom, aka The Suz, described two recent events. And stuff like this happens all the time.

Email from my Mom:

When I asked Bill what he wanted to choose for "Dad's chess night" (which originally only included a game of chess but has now turned into a bike ride, a trip to Baskin Robbins, science experiments, woodworking projects in the garage and anything else they can think of. I told Dad that one day one of them was going to say, "Well, tonight for my chess night, let's go have a beer and shoot a game of pool!") Anyway, when asked, Bill said, "I haven't decided yet. I've been so busy thinking about my bank account, food and other survival things that I haven't thought much about chess night yet."

And now for a crazy cute one from Austin: The other night we were talking about a boy who had been very rude to some other kids and the boys were wondering why he acted like that. I told them there are many reasons that kids and adults act the way they do and all we can do is control how we react to them. I said, "You can't control other kids." Then Austin replies, seriously and wisely: "I'll tell you something you can't control - your penis, now that's something you can't control." They all agreed and kept on eating. So much for being the only girl in the family!

It does seem to, at times, have a mind of its own. And who is quoting Seinfeld at 5:44 am??!!
