It amazed me when I talked to my little brother few days back.. I don't know whether it is amusing, amazing or just weird that my 19 year old brother sounded like me.. Every word he said to me the other day made me feel like I was listening to myself, my now self, not my 14 year old self.. I sure did not sound like that when I was his age.
He likes to be in control.. he plays his words and sarcasm with style where he could shut off anyone older than her anytime.. Except me of course, it's a disaster if he is ever going to shut me off.. But we sure could make a good team if we're on the same idea about something.. Well, he is not exactly like me, but there's a sense of me a little bit here and there.. hi's a serious person himself which I think is too serious for a 19 year old..
I always knew that among my siblings, my youngest brother was going to be more like me in some ways.. While my brother and my other sister are very much alike in many many ways.. Yeah they are like the opposite sex versions of each other.. Literally..
hi's still young and there's still some brushing up to be done.. If hi's going to play mind games with words and sarcasm as his weapon, he better be really good at it.. he better kill it.. Because it's humiliating to me if he doesn't play it good.. Then again, I always said to him, which I hope he will always remember is that choose who deserves your piece of mind because that words, sarcasm and that very piece of mind are too precious to be given away to ALL people.. Sometimes it's better to be silent and be called a fool than to speak too much and remove all the doubt..
