Thank God my parents didn't have a dishwasher when I was born.

Ha. Yeah that was basically my reaction to my brother. Except I didn't dishwasher him. I just kept dressing him up like the sister I'd been hoping for.

Twenty years later we now get along... and the photos of us younger are priceless.
