Love Talk and Brendan
He hated it! I even remember him suddenly blurting out
“I HATE Valentine’s Day!”
Puzzled, I looked over at him and replied, “Where the hell did that come from? It’s August Dude!”
(still makes me laugh)
The only thing I could get away with:
Telling him that I loved his lips. He referred to them as his “cartoon lips”. When I would give him a lift to
work….the departure went like this:
Me: “Okay honey, kisses please!”
Brendan: “What are your plans for the rest of the day?.”
Me: “Oh, I’m just going to sit around the rest of the day thinking about your lips. I don’t have anything
better to do. Might as well just think about your lips.”
(Brendan-- continuing to look straight ahead, pretending to be disinterested….but smiling.)
One of the most perfect things in all of creation: Brendan’s cartoon lips, crooked teeth and adorable
smile--Perfection! (Most of you know he was missing half his teeth --knocked out skateboarding----and
had to wear a bridge) Another funny little piece of Brendan trivia. He was ALWAYS misplacing his ‘teeth’.
I can’t tell you how many times he forgot to put them in and we’d get halfway to Trader Joe's and have
to turn back around and get them.
I’m so delighted that I have so many memories that make me laugh about Brendan.
