THE VIRGO EXPERIENCE: DAY 2 (SIBLINGS)

 CEDRICK AND LEEMON

I thought long and hard about what I was going to write about today.  So I decided, why not write about my relationship with my brothers.  These are the next two people in my journey.  Leemon Ant'Juan and Cedrick De'Shaun are their names.  For most of my childhood, it was just my brothers and I.  My worked long hours and multiple jobs so we had to entertain ourselves.  Not to say that my mom was never around, because that is not true.  But the majority of the time, it was my eldest brother looking out for Cedrick and I. 

Although my eldest is only about a year and half older, he stepped up to the plate to make sure that his little brothers were taking care of. 

Growing up, it was always a proven that Leemon was the most intelligent out of the bunch.  I looked up to him because he was the one that would travel to see all parts of the world and he was also the one that was so gifted, that he went to magnet schools.  I really did want to be like my big brother.  Even to the fact that I wanted to dress like him in Jr. High School. :)  (For those that know my brother, you can only imagine me wearing the clothes he likes to wear.. lol)

On to the next, you have my twin, Cedrick.  This guy, from birth, has had a lot of challenges thrown at him but he did not let that stop him.  Being born with all kinds of health challenges, he rose above it all and said that those things won't get the best of him.  I admire him for being a fighter and never giving up. 

So I am sure you are asking, where is the funny story today... Well, here's a good one.  And yes I am going to tell my twin's story because it's his bday as well.  Cedrick, being the inquisitive kid that he was took a "balloon" to school one day.  Not knowing that this so called "balloon" was in fact a male prophylactic. lol. I know, funny right! So the teacher caught him blowing it up in class, and called my mom immediately.  My mom's first question to Cedrick was, WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? He said, from one of his friends.  So you know he received the ultimate spanking for this action. 

Here's the even funnier part, my brother Leemon and I were at two different schools from Cedrick and when we got home, we were in trouble too.  My brother told my mom we knew that he had it and she gave us all one of those spankings! (I know CRAZY, right) I still ask my mom to this day, "why did we all get in trouble for that?" And her response is still the same.. "You knew he had it and didn't tell me.." :)

Lesson for the day: Don't try to keep things from your mom... She will always FIND OUT!

Now your turn.  Share with me a funny story from your childhood.. And can you guess which one is me in the picture??
