DUI

No this is not really about a DUI, I don't really even drink.

I was reading my mom's blog (like I do almost every day) and there was a story she had incorporated about my youngest brother Michael. The story was about Michael reading a Victoria secret catalog and commenting on how there were no secrets in it. My mom expressed that he was disappointed like he thought that it must have contained all the secretes in the universe or something. That is how Michael is.

I have always wondered what it is like being Michael, always full of thought and questions. He has always been curious and in tune with whatever he wants to be, science, dragons, magic, and even meditation. Sometimes I admit I am even a little jealous that I don't know what it is like in Michaels world.

My mom's story reminded me how Michael always asked questions and questioned things he thought were not right.

Both my brother Ben and I still laugh at this one, because it is classic Michael:

When I was younger growing up in the 80's I frequently heard the phrase "Don't Drink and Drive". Both Ben and I will tell you that we thought that ment anything... We didn't understand that meant alcohol. When we would pick up food from McDonald's we would have our drinks in the car and we would only drink them when Mom was at a stop light. Pretty smart huh? Every once in a while we would see mom drinking her Mountain Dew while driving and thought she was doing something wrong. But I guess since it was mom we never said anything.

We soon realized that "Don't Drink and Drive" ment alcohol. But Michael must have just hit the age where he noticed the saying. One day on our way home from McDonald's, Michael said alarmed "Mom, you are not supposed to drink and drive!" Ben and I in the backseat of the car were trying not to laugh at Michael's mistake for it had also been our own, but leave it up to Michael to say something.
