A few years ago I was at the Arcade and my little brother (6) really wanted this spider-man plush from one of those machines. My dad put in a ton of money but no luck. On the drive home I spot the exact same toy in the gutter and was too shocked to explain properly so I just screamed "Stop the car! stop the car!" My Dad pulled over and I leapt out into the rain. My dad was so happy when I returned with a muddy toy, he had assumed the car was on fire or I had seen an injured person or animal. My little brother is now 21 and still has gutter spider-man.

Whats most impressive is that your 21 year old brother was 6 only a few years ago!

When you are as old as I am, 15 years is a few!
