Blood Is Thicker Than Stupidity

(For context, I’m happily adopted, but I have an older brother and a younger sibling through my biological mother. They stayed in California while I grew up in Colorado. It was hard to consistently keep in touch, especially before texting, Facebook, and instant messengers, so we’ve only recently started to truly reconnect. This exchange takes place over Skype with my younger sibling.)

Me: “I just sprayed my puppy’s bed with this anti-chew stuff, and some of the mist got in my mouth. Holy CRAP, does that taste bad.”

Sibling: “I love you, and your little reminders that we really are related.”
