Who's the luckiest big brother in the world? i'd totally be tempted to say andy and phil but i know its me! I got to spend last night with my little sister Jamie k. Cook. What a freakin champ folks? She embodies so many positive virtues and traits, its hard to be around her and not be a better person. She may be a tad bit ditzy at times, but honestly she's the funniest chick i've ever met.
Our night started grocery shopping with my mom a.k.a BIG MAMA. (An excursion that should only take a half hour that ends up taking three weeks. It must be a mother thing, you know, make friends with everyone in the store, and the bum outside the store. Merle was his name in case you were wondering.) My dad jeff, jamie, and i tried our hardest to keep ahead of mom and run some damage control, but no one can stop the social hurricane that is Anne T. Cook. So jamie in order to keep her big brother entertained starts cracking her one liners, and the chick is sharp. I haven't giggled that much in quite a while. At one point i was giving her a piggy back ride and she was spurring me. what a hoser. Anyhow that trip ended, thankfully, with us getting out of the store before midnight.
Jamie had a party to go to with all of her freakin awesome high school pals. Leaving this poor kid with mom and dad. Which it turns out mom and dad are pretty legit. We went to dinner and My dad jeff cracked more dirty jokes than mom, which is a first. Anyhow during dinner we get a text message from Jamie to come pick her up. She said she wanted to come home and hang out with her big brother. Gulp. here come the tears. As much as i wanted her to stay and to make friends, it warmed me to the core she wanted to kick it with me.
We picked her up and i tried my damndest to talk her into staying with her friends but she would have none of it. We got home and decided it was time to ball it up. I promptly got ready for the bloodbath that would ensue. Jam said she needed to eat and change. I started to warm up. Continued warming up...................... Played some horse.................made some important phone calls............................Circumnavigated the globe..........checked in the house and jamie was still eating the same sandwich she'd made forty years ago. (literally forty years) She finally changed and we played some wicked sweet ball. Honestly folks, the titans entombed underneath mt. olympus couldn't have held us down, let alone a blithering pissant like kobe bryant. Our skills were just too formidable.
We decided that the roundball revolution we created was still a few years out from being mainstream, it was time to go to bed. But little sister was nice enough to do my hair for me before she retired to her chambers. This lame lifetime movie was on while she was doing my hair . i hate those damn movies cause you can always tell what the whole plot and i mean literally THE WHOLE plot will be within the first five minutes. needless to say we were hooked.
This morning she helped me get the drive to attend my worship services like a good boy. i heard a lot of good things that i really needed to hear, things that will help in my day to day struggle. haha i love calling it the struggle cause it makes me feel like tupac shakur. Anyhow, i guess more or less this is an ode to JAMIE KAY COOK. she may be goofy, she may be scatter brained, she may be a grade A smart ass, but she is an amazing example of what a good person should be. i'm thankful to have her. Love you little sis.
