What is it about your brother/s and sisters that makes you revert back to being 5 years old?
I went to listen to my brother talk in church today and could not stop myself from making faces at him from the back row. I made him stumble just a little while he was speaking, and while he was hiding a grin and continuing, I was about to bust up laughing.
Then during the closing hymn, I messed up the words. Maybe more than once, and my sister kept laughing at me. So I elbowed her repeatedly and she laughed harder. I think my parents were embarrassed by their adult children. I got a look from my mom that said, "You're almost 30 years old and have 2 children who you wouldn't let act like this during church. You're the oldest, try to set a good example for your brother and sister. (mantra of my childhood)"
I left quickly after sacrament to change my clothes because I thought for sure my brother was going to beat the snot out of me for messing up his talk. That's what you fear when your younger siblings get bigger than you. Lucky for me he thought it was funny and I escaped unscathed.
Without spouses or children there, it made me kind of miss just the 3 of us.
