Breaking the silence with a story!

Hey all.

Sorry about the extended hiatus. Been wicked busy with the business. But that's not what I'm here to talk about!

Just had a funny conversation with Riley earlier and figured I'd post it here as a segue back into regular posting...

R: "Mom, Elliot won't stop copying me!
me: "Well, it's because you're his older brother, he thinks you're cool and he wants to be like you."
R: "But I'm not cool, I'm just really handsome."
me: "That's true, you are very handsome - but even if you don't think you're cool, Elliot always will. You're his big brother, he wants to do things the way that you do."
R: "But if he starts doing that it'll be too confusing about who's the real Riley!" (starts choking back tears) At this point I couldn't make out the rest, it was muffled into my shoulder as he was weeping a little.

Elliot was within earshot of all of this but neglected to comment.
