upstaged.

A phone conversation with my 9-year-old brother:

ME: Hey buddy!
JOSEPH: (obviously disappointed) Oh. I thought I was going to talk to Phil.
ME: Well, you were, but I just wanted to say hi first and tell you that I love you.
JOSEPH: Okay, well, can I talk to Phil now?

I guess I can't blame the kid. I mean, he's had to grow up with two sisters and no brothers at home, so he can't help it if he prefers talking to Phil (a guy) over me. I can handle it. In fact, I know how he feels since I grew up with only brothers and no sisters. But I will be tackling him the next time I see him...
