Brothers

At a break in our neighborhood game of Capture the Flag tonight, Maggie lay back on the grass, looked up at the starry night sky and said, "There's babies up there."

"What?"

"See the babies in the sky?"

"Maggie, those are stars."

"No, they're babies."

"Who told you there were babies in the sky?"

"Nathan and Mathew and Collin and Chase [some neighbor boys]."

They confessed that they told her the sky had a baby. And now she thinks stars are babies in the sky. I wonder how long it will take before she stops believing anything her brothers tell her.

I'm wondering the same thing...when will I stop believing anything my brother tells me. Honestly, (and so sorry to break the news to you) I think she's in it for the long haul!

Do you believe the things your brother tells you?:)

Why do all brothers have to be like that?! Poor Maggie. She is never going to know what to think!

She is so trusting! Lets hope that they never steer her wrong---she will believe everything they tell her. :)

What's all this about brothers??? I know a certain sister who used to do this very same thing! What about the operation you told me I had and I worried about it for like 20 years???
