Here are some quick classic stories/one liners.
End of freshman year in high school, I finally started to look... well, normal. I was actually a pretty cute girl, if I say so myself. I was on the track team and this senior had taken notice of me. I was just so dumbstruck by him (probably because he was older than me). He had wanted to ask me to the prom but he didn't. I was so upset because he clearly showed interest. His reasoning?
You guessed it! Big brother was a senior when he was a freshman and he was scared of him. Awesome.
My first real date comes around the end of sophomore year. It was with a guy I went to middle school with and had my first real crush on. Oh my gosh, it was so pathetic how much I liked this guy. My curfew was 11pm... my parents really trusted me, I guess. Not only do my parents have stalker photos of me and him buying our tickets at the theatre, my brother was waiting around the street corner to make sure I got home on time. 11pm on the dot my brother storms in the house to make sure I am there.
I had met this one guy at summer camp and he was pretty cool, I thought. I have a big brother nickname... Stevie. I am the only one to consistently only refer to him as this. I was telling my date all about Stevie and he came to pick me up. He goes up to big brother and says, "Nice to meet you, Stevie."
Stevie's response... "That's Steven to you."
21st birthday is the best one though. Stevie and all of his friends and my cousins took me out to celebrate. I was initiated into the real social world! Some of his guy friends who I had grown up with and slept over at our house all the time finally realized I was a girl... err... lady... err... whatever. Anyways, one of his friends was particularly friendly and wanted my number. Stevie went up to this friend of his and loudly yells,
"STOP HITTING ON MY SISTER!
Did you give him your number? Give me your phone!"
Thanks big brudder for always looking out for me.
I'm sure one day I will thank you for all the thoughtfulness you showed... :)
