Stand Up and Cheer Him: He’s Old

2006 September 24
by WordNerd

A very happy 17th birthday to my little brother, Mathgeek! He was correct in that he got an iPod for his birthday (which cost less than mine, damnit!) and that he’d have a homemade cake today (though that right there was not my doing even though I provided a recipe). I believe the little dude (well, not so little) had to work tonight, but he did get to enjoy an afternoon celebration that I joined via the marvelous technology of telephony communication. Woo!

Happy, happy birthday, my dear lad. And you’re actually not that old, but soon you’ll be heading off to college and then I’ll really be feeling my late twenties (not, as others claim, my early thirties). Though I guess I will be 30 when you start college!

    WordNerd can giveth, and WordNerd can taketh away. Be nice or I’ll appropriate your new iPod. I technically still own it!

    IP: Oh, you’ll pay for that.

    Give it to me, WordNerd. It’s a pretty sweet gizmo.

    Dorkus: You can have my current iPod once I take Mathgeek’s.

    Mathgeek: Why were you up so late!?

    Nearly 11:30PM on a school night? I’d say so, young man!

    Yes, take it from Wordnerd, the parties shouldn’t last past 9:30! :)

    And yet I cannot help but notice the timing of my last comment, and then the timing of your response. They speak for themselves, no? :) :)

    Dorkus! I can’t believe you took IP’s side! You’re supposed to be my ally!

    IP: That’s it, I’m not buying you beer for five weeks.

    Dorkus: I’m not buying you a vanilla creme. Only A and Mathgeek get one (unless, of course, they too stab me in the back).
