The Johnson Family Blog: Out with the Old

My favorite brother, Dusty, came over today to low ball me on my full size mattress that we no longer have room for due to the nursery. Dusty had been sleeping on an old couch as a bed, but he tossed it with his recent move and has been roughing it on the floor. Alan and I finally decided that there is just no where to keep this mattress at our house for the next several years, so we decided we'd give it Dusty. Mom offered to buy them from me for him, but since Mom bought them for me before I lived with Alan, I didn't think she needed to pay me to give them to Dusty.

You see Dusty always seems tight on money, so we usually give him our old furniture if he needs it, hence the free mattress. However, today I did get quite the kick out him! He hung around for a couple of hours waiting on lunch. While we were chit-chatting, he told me needed to swing by another friends house and pick up his TRAMPOLINE! Yes TRAMPOLINE! Not the little exercise ones, I talking the large ones you put in the backyard! I'm thinking he must have bought this thing cheap off of Craigs List...right? Nope he says he bought it new at Academy! Where are the priorities boy! He proceeded to tell me that he is still pretty good at back flips and can even add a twist into them! Boy was I low balled! By the way, he's 26 yrs old!

Anyway, Dusty got off with my most favorite and comfortable mattress. I'm so going to miss it. However, from now on we are going to have to do some bartering! Not to mention next time we go out to eat, I'm going to stiff him with the bill! After all, he is the one with a full time job!
