You know how kids growing up have stupid little grievances with their siblings? When my brother and I were younger, I had the advantage of being older and bigger (he’s 3 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier now. I regret everything) but things that would always drive me nuts were when he would sit behind the driver on family car trips, when he would always, ALWAYS eat 2 bowls of cereal than leave the milk out. I’m sure there was other stuff too that I’ve blocked out. But there was one thing that always bugged me, that I was always jealous about.
One year, I had a page a day calendar with little sports facts on them, and it was always exciting. Also, on those page a day things, it had a list of athletes born on that day. I got one of those things again this year, and all those feelings of animosity were brought back to the forefront. My brother shares his birthday with Wayne Gretzky, so great they call him the Great One. Best hockey player ever. Also, he shares it with Vince Carter, one of the most exciting basketball players ever. And he shares it with both of them.
Me? Ike Hilliard.
Anyways, happy birthday, bro. Jerk.
