Growing up, my parents would take us to visit family in Florida and one of my uncles by marriage we would visit his family, being his parents and brother. They had no grand children so we got lots of special treatment there. They were fabulous people. They were from New York, brash with heavy accents, very loving, I loved visiting them. So did my brother and sister. Now, they were budgie breeders and had an aviary with lots of budgies so yes I was there as often as I could be. Their name was Hunter.
Growing up, my brother and I fought a lot. I'm the eldest, he's 5 years younger. When I say fought, it would come down to fists at times, he always started it!! And I committed the cardinal sin, when walking to the bus stop, I saw my brother's friend Billy sitting on top of my brother punching him and I removed him. I expected thank yous but got yelled at by my brother, lol!!! I was 13 and he was 8.
Now fast forward about 20 - 30 years. We are on good terms but on occasion, he says something that is just a jerk statement. Last month when I got Buzz, we were at a nice restaurant celebrating my sister's birthday and he said to me he was going to get me a sign that said "The Hunters" to hang on my door. It's been a long time since I got really angry at him and told him right there, "You are an ***hole. A stuck up ***hole." Why? He's gotten conceded, has an ostentatious house, he's always had to have the best and spend money. The Hunters were great people and treated us like their own. He loves telling my parents about what he thinks they are doing wrong. Last year Husband and I arrived at my parents for a cook out, everyone was there and when we walked in I asked who got a new truck? There was a new, Chevy 4x4, diesel truck with paper tags outside. My brother asked me how I knew it was a new truck. Um really? Well it turns out I revealed something he didn't want revealed to my Father. My father and brother had been arguing about trucks, power and pulling 5th wheels (large campers). Apparently my brother had told my Dad he wasted his money buying a Chevy 4x4, but turned around and bought one hisself, lolllll!!! Of course Dad rushed outside to see the new truck.
So my point here, Sunday we are having family over to celebrate Mother's and Father's Day. For the mothers we have flowers, and for the Dad's mugs. Here is the mug I got my brother, yes just to irritate him, lol!!! An excellent replication of my amazing Amazon Buddy, lol!!!
