One night my then 18 yr old nephew and I were playing around with my younger neice’s Barbie and Ken.  This is what we came up with.  It is HILARIOUS!! OK, so the picture of Barbie and her wild-haired, cross-dressing friend Ken may not be that funny to you, but I literally LAUGH OUT LOUD when I see this picture. Yes, even now, 8 years later.  Because really, it’s THAT funny.  Alright, so I guess it’s one of those you-had-to-be-there moments. But for me, it was one of those times where I laughed so hard that I cried and I couldn’t breathe because my stomach hurt so bad.  My stomach still hurts from that night-maybe it’s from the scarring.  I love this picture because anytime I need a laugh, it delivers.  I also love this picture because it reminds me of my nephew.  I’ve always felt a special bond with him since the day he was born.  I was 16 when he came into my life.  The first time I held him he became mine. Not my baby, not my son, but just MINE. He belonged to ME and MY HEART forever.  And yes Lois, I realize I’ve put him on a pedestal.  But that’s where he’ll stay.  In my eyes, he can do no wrong.  (BTW nephew, that doesn’t give you a free pass! ha!)
