You know you are mad at your brother when...

...you make a sign that means "No Bradens Allowed." (What appears to be a "20" is actually the word "NO." Ya know, just in case the giant X didn't convey that information.)

...and a drawing of the family that leaves your brother out. (I'm on the left here, the one "with the scraggly hair." Thanks, Garrett. )

Hot potato!

Braden's friends Omar and Yessenia had a birthday party today at their father's Mexican restaurant in Bryan. Their mom, a sociology prof at A&M, planned some traditional Mexican games, like hot potato. Braden hung back at first, but soon got involved. I'm afraid the kid has a competitive streak: He wanted to win. He was throwing that potato as quickly as possible.

All the kids were quick to point out which kid was out. The were good sports (mostly).

Finally, it was down to two: Braden and another boy.

Ohhh...music stops! Who's the winner?

Braden!!!
