My little (not so little anymore at 6'3") brother and I talked for the first time in a while last night. Now that he has his driver's license (as of a month ago), he has a lot of time to talk on the phone. Because -- you know -- that's what you do when you drive around in sprawling, suburban southern cities. Plus he has a physics final exam today, so talking to his big sister is a perfect form of procrastination. Anyway, this is my favorite part of the conversation:
Brother: "So...what's new?"
Me: "Not too much. Looking for a new apartment again."
Brother: "Um, are you still trying to live in New York City?"
Me: "Ha. Yeah. Trying."
Brother: "I was on Yahoo today, and there was an article that listed New York as the world's third most unlivable city. You sure you wanna live there?"
Me: "Only third most unlivable? Send me the article. And yes -- I'm sure."
Brother: "Hm....Ok Cool."
(We then, naturally, switched gears to talk about how his lacrosse team season ended up.)
Maybe it is just funny to me, but I just loved it. He's so rational, and I guess now he's knows that I'm not. That's okay.
Yours,
EL

He uses Yahoo?
Move to Brooklyn with me.
Haha yeah, my mom and brother use Yahoo mail. I tried reasoning with them.
Brooklyn is in the works. There's potential there.
