The parental units are away at a wedding. It’s just been me and my little brother this weekend. I assumed he would be his usual teenage self, and spend most of his time hidden away in his den playing computer games. I have been pleasantly surprised. Despite being twice his age, it seems I am cool enough to hang around with...
We spent all morning yesterday watching a Buffy marathon on FX. Just like old times. When he was 8/9 years old, he used to camp out in my room and we used to watch Buffy and Angel for hours; it was our thing. Afterwards, we went out on a bike ride, for some fresh air, and to pick up some ice cream for after dinner. Throughout the afternoon and well into the night, we worked our way through Pirates of the Caribbean, the Resident Evil movies, and we finished off with Zombieland. Awesome fun.
This morning, he helped tidy up and even make dinner, which is something he would never normally do! We're settling down to a Cheaper By The Dozen double-bill on Film4 this afternoon. Bonnie Hunt FTW!
Rule #32 - Enjoy the little things.
