I was at the local college doing some work while waiting for my wife to finish teaching when I saw my brother who shall not be named just 20 feet away. He had graduated from college, but I could tell he was probably helping some friends study.
Rather than wave at him or directly greet him, I decided to text him.
“What are you doing in the Tanner Building?”
That ought to get him to wonder where I was and look around.
A few minutes passed by and he didn’t budge. The cell phone network should have delivered that message by now. I wondered if he had forgotten his phone…
Then he sat back in the right position and I noticed…his nose wasn’t quite right.
Dang It!
Same build. Same height. Same kind of shirt. Shorts. Wrong nose!
So I quickly typed out a new message:
“Okay, so maybe my vision is bad and that isn’t you.”
Time to crawl under a rock.
A few hours later, when he got off of work, he responded with this text (which I imagine was intended to be in the voice of The Simpsons’ character Nelson):
“Ha ha, awesome. We DO have Institute there on Wednesdays, but otherwise I don’t go there. :D”
Oh, brother…
Where’s that rock again?
At least you didn't walk up behind him and grab him in a half nelson.
