Happy Saturday. I am tired and looking forward to naps today. Hope all is well with you. 🙂
Here’s a snippet from a work in progress called “The Artist’s Mechanic.” Forgive any typos, etc.
Brothers. Gotta love ’em.

My baby brother tricked me.
Okay, so it wasn’t quite a trick, but, he’d somehow shifted his piss poor efforts at getting better grades into, “oh, well you never finished high school so why should I?” after which I reminded him that I got my diploma last year. And then he said, “Well why can’t I do the same thing?” And I retorted, “Because you can do better than that. I want you to have a chance at something good, not become a grease monkey like me.”
After that, he’d crossed his arms, narrowed his too-sharp brown eyes and told me I’d have to do something really big and outside my comfort zone for him to agree, something I’d never do in a million years, just to prove that I was serious about him finishing school. Naturally, he came up with the most embarrassing thing possible—being a nude model for his best friend’s brother’s drawing class for the rest of the summer.

Ha! Glad my siblings never tricked me into that 🙂
I can’t even imagine what would have happened if my brother had tried that…
Lol! I’m glad my brother’s not like that! 😉
Brothers can be sneaky!
Bwahaha! Hmm, I wonder if the brother has a set-up in mind?
Hehe
Oh man, those aren’t even on the same level at all! Hehehe but it’s a great set up for a tale. Great snippet. J.D. 🙂
