Griffster

I present to you, my little brother:

Griffin John Guttery (Jay Leno lent me his chin for this picture)

My brother is an easy audience, he laughs heartily at all my jokes, even when he is the brunt of them; which is often. He is my go-to reference on all things pertaining to video games, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, rock music and making fun of mom.

Favorite Griffin stories:

Halloween one year my mom asked Griffin to take over the job of handing out candy for awhile. A few doorbells later we noticed Griffin snickering to himself as he walked back to where we were all sitting in the living room. Come to find out when the cute kids in costume said "Trick-or-treat!" and opened their candy bags, he had been dropping bananas and raw hot dogs into their bags and then quickly shutting the door on their confused expressions.

When Griffin was little, we lived at Bellview Circle. One day all the neighbors' mail was missing and people started asking around trying to figure out if anyone had seen the mail that day. Later that evening we found Griffin had buried all the mail in our backyard. For no apparent reason.

Okay, one more...

Scene: Griffin's second day of Kindergarten. I, as the big fourth grader, was in charge of picking him up at his classroom and taking him to the correct bus. He was no where to be found and I was in a panic. I got on the bus anyway, almost in tears. During the drive home, the bus stopped at a red light and I happened to be looking out my window. There was Griffin, standing at the crosswalk, chatting up the cross guard. He revelaed to us later (after my mom and I picked him up in the car and finished yelling at him) he had decided the bus smelled bad and he wanted to walk home.
