I've really always wanted a brother.

When I was in Kindergarten I even made up stories about a brother that I had--he didn't really exist.

It's not so much the sibling thing, though. A sister wouldn't be the same. It's always been a brother.

My cousins treat me like their little sister (even though I'm 4 years older than the oldest). We don't see each other often--usually twice a year. And, that's unfortunate. I think they're both great. When I was visiting them a few days ago, my brotherly desire was reignited.

We spent a good couple hours making up new verses (Eminem style) to the diarrhea song (we had some good ones) while washing dishes and then fighting over the remote (they refused to switch over from football to Desperate Housewives even during commercials) and wrestling.

I don't know where this brother thing came from and I certainly don't understand why singing about diarrhea and being pounded to the ground would cement this desire.
