Editor's Note

My wife pointed out that my last blog was probably not as clear or funny as I thought it was. Sorry about the confusion, let me explain. About a week ago, this email was sent from my brother (Ben) to my dad:

I'm sorry Amy is being so mean to you dad...She, along with my other siblings, don't understand what pressures you go through every day and how important every minute of your day truly is...But I do! I understand that you have 5 children who are ungrateful for all that you do and who don't appreciate you, Gordon Brest. I'm with ya dad...I care...I feel your pain...Even mom doesn't feel your pain like I do...You are super awesome and there is not another person on this planet like you...I believe in you dad...I think Chris sent you the wrong blog just to mess with you! I think I heard Katie and Amy talking about how funny of a joke it was...They're all against you dad...Even Corey and Elliott are in on it somehow! As for mom...She's the ring leader of it all...You can trust me dad...I'm on your side...If you need anything I will be there for you in a moment's notice...Just as I'm sure you would be for me...Have a great day!

Your loving, adoring, and admiring son,
Ben

So...I replied to this email (all of what I said was meant in a joking manner) through my blog. Like I said earlier, I apologize for any confusion or misunderstandings, everything written was somewhat of an inside joke (that apparantly not many people had the inside scoop on!). My bad

  1. The reason it didn't come off as funny is because you're ranking on the family funny scale has drastically dropped...

  2. Last I checked, Chris was dead last on the funny chain in the Brest clan. Some people got it and some don't.

  3. Well, you left out the funniest part of the email from Ben. After he signed off, he put; "PS - Dad, can I have some money?"

    I still love you....maybe not as much as Ben loves me, but I love you! :-)

  5. I forgot to mention that as Madelynn and Tobin and the other nieces and nephews are coming up they are becoming people with personalities. As their personalities become more and more...individualistic they are coming into the funny scale. This is good news for me because it gives me more competitors. This is, however, bad news for Chris because he is currently in second to last place between Caleb and Jonas...Tough luck man!
