My seventeen year-old brother (who does not read this blog) just changed his profile picture on facebook to one of him with a girl perched delicately on his lap. To be fair, this is a girl he's been dating for over a year (they just celebrated their one-year anniversary). To be unfair, MATTHEW IS A FETUS. I mean, honestly. If my seventeen year-old brother is old enough to have a facebook profile picture (since, you know, facebook is obviously an appropriate touchstone for reality) in which a girl is sitting on his lap, then...BAH I don't know. That just means I'm OLD.
But honestly, in my defense, I think of Matthew like this:
And a boy who allows his much more powerful, obviously completely awesome older sister to dress him up in a purple scarf and white pants to play Aladdin to her Jasmine is clearly NOT old enough to balance a teenage girl on his lap. I rest my case.
WHAT who is Matthew dating? Do I know her? How did I miss this???
ReplyDeleteWhew. I looked it up, and seriously, MF: this girl is one of the top 5 awesome girls in that class. I entirely approve. (Okay, maybe top 10, but that's just because it's a really really fantastic grade.)
ReplyDeletehaha, excellent! i've passed along the news to my mother, who didn't sound at all surprised. i think she really likes her (and i think she and matthew are actually quite serious).
