A Brother Like Mine

I was looking for a file tonight and found this:

Erin Torrance

English

Period 5

September 26, 1990

My little brother was born on Christmas. He was the best present we got, and sometimes the worst. I can still remember all the crazy things he's done, and he's only 5!!!

Stevie came home from the hospital in a stocking. He looked so sweet and innocent. Boy, has he changed!!! He gets this look in his eyes. You can always tell when he's up to something. Stevie is full of trouble and mischief. You never know what he'll do next.

One time he got lost at Disneyland at 10:00 at night!! We were with some friends who had gone with us. My mom was watching my brother and the baby. Stevie wanted a drink of water. He walked halfway across the park before anyone noticed he was gone. Finally after about 45 minutes we found him. When he realized he was lost, he was so scared. But that never stopped him from getting lost again!!!

Stevie has also had many trips to the emergency room. Once he got his foot shut in the car door. The door latched with his foot in it. He had to get stitches. He couldn't walk for about two weeks.

But on the other hand, Stevie can also be a big help and a lot of fun. He always tries to help everyone. He also likes to make cookies with me. We put in lots of chocolate chips and decorate them with candy, frosting, and spreckles. Usually most of the dough is eaten before the cookies can even be put in the oven.

When he was little we went to the mall with my mom. We always parked on the second floor. Stevie walked right into the mall and stuck his head between the bars of the railing. He couldn't get his head out!!! After about 10 minutes of pulling and squeezing we finally managed to get his head out. But the next time we went to the mall he did it again!!!

Life is never dull with a little brother like mine!!!

Must be great to have a brother like me!!
