RE: learning/acronyms

Was he thankful he had different initials?  Or just being a brother?  I can
see how, especially coming from a family member, that could get under your
skin.  But, what are families for if not sharing and caring absolutely
everything without filters. I don't suppose you found a unique way of
thanking your brother for his interpretation, and no doubt harassment, of
your initials?  (And folks wonder why family get togethers can be
contentious.  LOL!!!)

Blessings,

Yes, my brother always thought that was the funniest thing.  Somehow I
didn't share the humor.
