A Big Little Heart

This is a more recent picture of my big brother Mike ...just out of the shower.

I recently found a stack of index cards Michael wrote on when he was 6. Some thoughts, some advice, some wisdom.

1) "When the sun rises in the sky and it is summertime, the little caterpillars wake up and start eating the leaves on the trees."

2) "Who is the fattest teacher in the school? Who is the skinniest teacher in the school? Which teacher yells and screams the loudest? Which teacher eats the most ice cream and candy?"

3) "Never leave your bicycle all by itself or somebody will take it."

4) "Someday, when Michael is older, he will have an automobile, a large house, a wife, some little children, and lots of bubblegum."

5) "People shouldn't hurt people smaller than themselves or people larger than themselves or people the same size or animals."
