Each and every day, I'm getting closer to the day that I leave for college. These are some of the things I want my little brother to understand before I go.
1. No, you cannot have my room when I'm gone.
As much as you may want to, you just can't. This is my room and you have your own room. Plus, when I come back to visit, chances are I'm going to want to sleep in my room again.
2. Yes, I will always call you my ‘baby’ brother.
I don't care how old you get, how tall you get or how big you get, you're always going to be known as my baby brother.
3. No, I'm not okay with the fact that we share a birthday.
Ever since my fifth birthday, I've had to share that day with you. You just had to decide to make yourself known on that September 15 in the year 2005.
4: Yes, I will try to be there for every game and every meet.
Even though sports aren't my thing, I know how much you love both football and wrestling, and I want to see you succeed in these things you so crave.
5. No, I will not approve of any significant others.
I don't care how perfect they are. You are my baby brother, and I feel that it is my duty to make your life as rough as you have made mine so far. (You're in for a tough one, kid.)
6. Yes, I will come and visit you.
Weather it be Christmas, Thanksgiving, our birthday or any other special occasion at The Labuschagne household, I will come see you.
7. No, I will not let you continuously do reckless things.
And you bet on your life that if mom or dad calls me and tells me that you are doing something reckless, I will personally go down there and open up a can of whoop butt. I will crack down that whip faster than you can say your four lettered first name.
8. Yes, I do think we should get a brother/sister tattoo together.
You'll always have a piece of me, and I'll always have a piece of you. No matter how far apart life takes us.
9. Yes, I do love you.
I know we fight, and we have our pointless arguments, but, I promise that I do love you. I hope that our relationship keeps on growing throughout the years.
