Brother

"Brother's week: If you have a brother who has made you laugh, punched you, stuck up for you, drove you crazy, annoyed you to no end, hugged you, watched you succeed, saw you fail, picked you back up, cheered you on, made you strong and is someone who has made you very proud to have in your life."
My daughter posted this today on her Facebook page about Kieron. It is just like him.
Kieron has a wicked sense of humour and always seems to know when someone needs cheering up. A favourite  tactic of his is to walk round with his boxers pulled right up to his chest, with his bottom hanging out. His pants are always too big anyway as he's so skinny, so the sight of these scrawny little legs sticking out of his boxers is guaranteed to make us laugh.
If Jade comes home upset about anything, he squares up and demands to know who has upset her so that he can go and sort it out for her.....yeah right!!
If anyone feels unwell, it's Doctor Kieron to the rescue with throws to tuck round us and drinks as required (or not as the case may be). He sits and strokes foreheads and sings lullabyes, although he tends to make them up to  tunes from a rock band. He lets us lie on the settee, with our feet in his lap while he does 'a spa'. This came about after I went for a spa day and told him how nice the pedicure was.So we get a foot rub.
Kieron gets hyper and annoying then suddenly apologises with hugs and kisses and sometimes 'sorry' notes pushed under a door or turned into a paper aeroplane and launched into the room.
Kieron is a little brother and a best friend. He is Kieron.

  1. That is so nice of his sister to do that for him. I like the way you (I do the same thing) never refer to Kieron in a "past" tense. Lol about the boxer shorts wedgie!! I've also heard those called a "chinese laundry" 8)

  2. Chinese laundry..haha. Must tell my older kids that one. To me Kieron will never be past tense. He's always with me and it's nice you do the same.
