My brother Josh has somehow conned his way into a position as Youth Minister at a church in northern Illinois. Yesterday, he informed me that I made the cut to be some sort of beneficiary and I should call him with important information that he should probably already know.Josh: Associate Pastor in charge of Youth Ministry.
Me: Really? That's how you're going to answer the phone?
Josh: I haven't worked it out entirely. It's my second day.
It should be noted that most of his first day was taken up with hiking. Apparently, youth minister office hours = hiking on the clock.
Me: Hey, this is pretty fun. I'm calling your work phone from my work phone. I even had to get past your receptionist.
Josh: Mom would probably want a picture of this moment, if only she could figure out how.
Me: I'll just take a picture of me on the phone and you take a picture of you and we'll put them together in post. I'm getting my camera now.
(I step away from the mic to get my camera.)
Me: Okay, I'm taking the picture now...done. I took it. Did you take yours?
Josh: ...
Josh: You're an idiot.

I LOVE it! Both children with a paycheck. Love, Mom and Dad
Aww! Yay for the parental love!
Tim, I for one appreciate the irony in what you were doing. I think it was both artistic and sophisticated, if not a bit Kaufmanesque.
Don't let your Philistine of a brother keep you down.
