Today is my oldest brother's birthday. So I called him and left a voicemail on his cell. We played phone tag for a bit until I got an answer from his OR nurse.

Nurse: Hello, this is Dr. J's phone.
Me: Oh! Hi, this is his sister, is he available?
Nurse: He's just scrubbed in for a surgery, is there a message?
Me: I'm just calling to wish him a Happy Birthday!
Nurse: Is it today??
Me: Yes!
Nurse: (chanting to entire operating room) Hey! Happy Birthday Dr. J, from your little sister!
Entire OR: *loudly in chorus* AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Someone from the Background: Hey, how old is he!?
Me: *gleeful* Very. Very. Old.
Entire OR: *mirth*

Ahhh, the joys of being a little sister. It's nice to know I can still be a total and complete pest. Hee. I was really hoping they didn't know and I could be the one to out him.

Heh. I could try the same thing a month from now with my older brother in IC!

You should! You should! It's so worth it to hear their groaning sheepishness in the background!

"Dr J, any message for your sister?"
"Yeah, tell her to answer her cell phone when I call!"

Heeee!

Hah! If my oldest brother worked with other people, I'd do the same. Instead, I'll go see him with my parents on his birthday (hopefully bringing my other brother along), and sit through a dinner where he gets drunker and drunker, and then endure my mother's complaints on the way home about how he's 35 now and should grow up.

*sigh*

Awwww. Though for what it's worth, when J and I hang out together, other people run for earplugs. We do nothing but fiercely banter obnoxiously.

His wife usually leaves the room in disgust after the first 6 rounds.

Hah! Gee, I never saw that coming :)

My family's like that, too, really. It's really just one constant round of one-upmanship. And my poor old man just can't keep up, most of the time. For example, he tried to enter a discussion on journalism and Judy Miller the other night by saying that her reporting wasn't "in the tradition of Martha Graham." I'll leave you to dissect exactly what's wrong there :)

Hah!!

Both my sister-in-law's are very quiet. And I think they find my family's brand of affectionate spazzing very alarming.

I have to say, I love it. I can't stand people who can dish it out but can't take it, and my family has ensured that I can take it!

hehe. sounds fun.. I don't get to do things like that I am the big sister... maybe i should be worried :)

Well, being big has better advantages, I think. My brothers certainly have had their fun with it!

God, I love being a youngest. :) I've got 5 older siblings to tease about how much older they are than I am ...

Fun, isn't it? :)

The gift that keeps on giving! (Thanks Mom, Dad ...)
