AHA!!!! It all makes since now!
*clears throat*
Hear ye, hear ye, all y’all folks! A while back @ellette-giselle tried to sell me a purple penguin, by telling me that her brothers would never do anything “brotherly” (a.k.a. pretend like we would plop something slimy, crawly, or ucky upon our dear beloved sisters (perhap even include a thrilling chase scene!) Or other such brotherly shows of affection that elicits squeals and glares.) but act chivalrous and whatsnot. Well, I have found the truth!
But no one knows me, *sob* I’m not always that violent. Just…. sometimes. Most of the sometimes.
THE SHOCKING TRUTH: Ellettes poor brothers, have sadly (but wisely) refrained from completing their due brotherly duties, so as to protection their lifes and limbs.
In short, they ain’t chivalrous, just scared of, and I quote her own words, there “violent” sister.
p.s. If I “happen” to have an odd and untimely death in the next week, don’t believe it.You’re Sincerely,
The Black Mongoose, Martyr for truth!
Interesting….
But would “most of the sometimes” be enough to cause such an impact? As a “baby” of a family, I suspect there may be birth order status involved.
And of course, they have brothers. As a rule, having only sisters leaves one with only sisters to
tormenttreat with brotherly kindness. Being singular, the single brother’s situation is by default unique. Being plural, the situation may be defined as “more than the sum parts” and thus the chaos may be directed into various channels besides sisterly kinds.Therefore, my fellow philosophers and/or snake eaters, these brothers may have found forms of “brotherly love” more subtle, which better fit their status within the totem pole.

what a thrill……with darkness and silence through the night……
sorry, if anyone remembers my charrie Snake, there’s a song about him that’s titled “the snake eater” and that’s the beginning of the song lol
"When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
I’m so random I’m sorry

Hey, random is great.
I often have lyrics to unconnected songs pop in my head at the slightest trigger. Brings joy. 😀

I was referring to violence in writing. ?
While I have grappled, spared, and fought airsoft battles with my brothers, I have never acted violently toward them in anger. (Not counting times when we may have gotten into quarrels where hitting may have been involved as tiny children ?)
as for playing mean tricks on girls, here is what I have to say:
Boys may play pranks and tease on mean ways.
Men know how to treat a woman.My brothers do not lack courage. They are some of the bravest, strongest, and most daring young men I know. One of them was recently knocked into a fire and badly burned. He didn’t cry or scream at all and roughed it out as brave as anything though it was a terrible burn and it was clear he was in a lot of pain. They scrap with one another, play airsoft with their friends using guns so powerful that they leave scars and bruising. They do the nasty things, the hard things, the scary things, and often without being asked. They are both very physically strong, they are smart, they are inventive, they build and use a verity of weapons, they are trained in several fighting arts. I’ve seen them stand up against frightens odds in deference of children and girls. One of my brothers fought a teenage boy who put his hands on me even though he was only 12 and the guy was much older and bigger. He bloodied the kid’s nose and told him never to touch me or any other girl again. This same guy layer jumped my brother, beat him up and broke two of his ribs as revenge.
they lack nothing in courage, strength, or daring.
but they also hold doors open, carry heavy things, walk on the street side, give over coats, hats, and sunglasses when their sisters neglect to bring their own. They give up seats to women and girls, they treat all females as ladies, even when foolish girls in our town lash back rudely when they hold doors open for them or do chivalrous things. They dance with me, have carried me over mud puddles when I was wearing nice shoes, stick up for me and even take the time of day to give compliments.
yes we’ve had our quarrels, yes they’ve said unkind or teasing things, but they know how to treat a girl.
now I may be over reacting, but for someone to take dirty shots at my brothers when they can’t defend themselves rouses my fighting spirit. Blame it on the blood of my Celtic ancestors. ?
but I would also request that the courage, strength, or character of my brothers would no longer be questioned. ☺️
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music
@ellette-giselle Power was just teasing and making a joke from what I could tell. Definitely seems like an overreaction lol

im sure he was and I bare no ill will toward him. He may tease me personally all he likes, I’d like him to leave my brothers out of it. ? ☺️

Nothing wrong with being uncomfortable with certain jokes or defending your brothers, but I don’t think it’s fair to accuse him of “taking dirty shots” when he was making a simple joke. It’s better to assume the best of intentions with people when interacting online.

Lol, sorry. Didn’t mean to make it awkward.

You’re good. XD I genuinely don’t know what to say, or if anything need be said. So yeah.
*Shrugs*
*Offers hot chocolate*
A cup of tea is cheaper than therapy.
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the courage of your brothers was in question. Your ready defense of them is to your credit, of course. And like Loopy said, it’s definitely ok to say a joke isn’t fine with you. And I get why you feel the need to step to their defense etc. They sound like great guys.
If it helps, I believe the term “they ain’t chivalrous” was refering to how it would keep them from doing the typical innocent (ok, some malicious intent, but limited to the slimy and/or gross) brotherly/boyish things to annoy the tar out of their sisters, not their general actions in life. Odd that those two can be separated, and perhaps in your viewpoint they can’t. XD It’s probably a thing that changes between family/senses of humor.
The humor here is definitely in hyperbole and rests on an unspoken assumption that all brothers relate to each other just because they’re brothers. XD It results in a convoluted compliment to you and your family. (Like joking about being a crazy author) At least, that’s interpreting it as I understood it. *shrug* I took it as the kind of tongue in cheek found in Jane Austen’s juvenilia.
