Sibling Ribaldry
My parents liked to tell me and my two brothers that my older brother was an "accident," I was "planned," and my younger brother, like the older brother, "just happened." In true kid fashion I enjoyed lording it over my siblings by reminding them that I was the only one of us who was really wanted, but my older brother turned it around on me. My folks liked him so much, he claimed, they had another, but I was such a disaster they were loathe to have more.

My younger brother was a "d.a.(damned accident) but he turned out to be not so bad... (once I got used to the fact that he wasn't the baby sister I had been promised) grin
These cartoons are great John... they have given me a daily chuckle across a difficult week. Thank you.
Jean, I don't think there's any greater compliment that you could pay me. I only hope that whatever's been darkening your week passes quickly. (And for anyone who doesn't know about it, visit Jean's terrific blog at: www.jeanburman.com. She's talented and wise.)
Jean, was sadden to hear that you had a difficult week. Hope that all is well now.
As usual, John C, great cartoon and love the commentary today.
