Babysitting My Big Brother

Yes, I have a brother. He is 10 years older than me and he is the best brother ever....his name is Stanley...and yes, I was going to name my newest wiener dog Stanley! That's another story though.
So, Stanley and his wife just returned home from vaca. They went to Lake Superior...one of the most amazing places on this earth. They collected all sorts of agates, shipwreck thingys and driftwood. Very cool stuff. As he was telling me about his black bear encounter, he also told me that he hurt his back clearing some woods at their home. They live in a 4K square foot log home, that looks more like a lodge than anything. It's pretty cool. After my visit I left and forgot about his back.
That was until on Monday, he didn't show up to work....Stanley is never sick...and so, I knew it was not good.
Monday was a fiasco...it took them an hour to get him into the truck at the Chiropractors office...and then a couple hours to get him inside the house. We all thought he should go to the ER, but apparently if you pay for health insurance, you don't always have to use it...which I think is assanine. But, whatever.
Tuesday morning, I went to plant MORE garlic, when I got the call to come babysit Stanley, while Kim went to work....so, I go to their house to find him on the floor. I didn't expect that. I'm not so good with being a nurse....we all know that from me taking care of Great Grams. She loved me...and I adored her...and she endured my clumsiness and modesty. ha.
He was happy to see me, as he layed flat on thier greatroom floor. I had taken a can of Campbell's soup from my mothers, if all else fails, chicken noodle soup will make everything better right? So, I made him soup and sat there with him. It was nice, it had been a long time since we had lunch and I had never had to babysit him!
After lunch, he decided to have a smoke....something that is not viewed as "good" in our family. After he was done, we both heard the bell on the door....it was Mother! BUSTED.....smoking! Bad, bad....I at that point decided it was time to leave. I left Stanley and our Mother there alone....I wonder if he got grounded for smoking? :)
