They call us we

Tomorrow is my brother’s birthday. If I remember right, the last gift I bought for him was 2 packets of Ayamas cheese sausages, wrapped in newspaper when he was about 9. The year before that, I bought Mars, Snickers & Kit Kat, taped but unwrapped. Shit, that’s almost 10 years ago. I must have bought him something in between… Last year for my 19th birthday, he gave me a two thousand pieces puzzle. I was incredulous and I refused to accept his joke. It was a joke I found out much later on, but the Paramore tickets inside of it wasn’t. This I must tell you that I cried. He skipped school the week before, took a bus after my dad was out of sight and went to Central to get on a bus for KL. He did all of this in his school uniform, I wondered how many unpleasant frowns he had to ignore. Mind you, he has never been to The Gardens or whatever it is called, but he managed. After purchasing the ticket, he had TGI and took a bus back to Central, then to school. Waited for my dad, and resumed all things mundane. No one would have guessed that he just left the state and got back within 5 hours in his school uniform on a Monday.
Anyway, I got him a gift this time. It’s not Ayamas but it’s Farmcow! Oh, he loves his hot dogs. Back to sentiments, I was shopping for my best friend actually; she told me she liked the checkered shirts from Brands Outlet. He was helping me to find sizes when I suddenly thought of his horrible wardrobe. I don’t think he has bad taste, just bad clothes. I meant bad as in torn, bleached, with holes. So he tried on the men sizes and he looked really good! I told him to get the tighter ones to accentuate his arms and chest.. He said he wants it wrapped and to maybe not buy it yet since his birthday is only the next week, he wants to be ‘surprised’. After saying that, he walked away and pretended not to look.
Right now, I am just waiting for his clothes to be washed. He has seen the wrapping paper that I bought for my nephew, assuming that I’d use the same one to wrap his ‘surprise’. Which I am, but I am going to wrap something else in it. His boxers. See why I am only going to wait for them to be washed.. Actually I thought using the dirty ones would be way cooler, I went to his laundry basket but I couldn’t do it. Okay I know it’s gross, but I can’t think of anything else funnier! Haha, I can’t wait to see the look on his face! I am going to ask him to open them after dinner. I’ll give him his real present after that, of course also wrapped.
Take that!

Ps/ in the end, I used two of his dirty boxers instead. Don’t ask me how it was.

At the beginning I got a shock, thought you had a secret fourth brother.
