I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN MY BROTHER TO CARE

!

i have made a breakthrough to my brother and it is the best thing because i have been trying to get him to appreciate this for the longest time and i finally got him to because i made him try it.

here's some background on my brother:

• hates everything drawing/coloring related
• likes videogames
• hates when i give him nicknames that catch onto his friends
• likes bacon
• hates long pants

My brother for the longest time has been the typical teen boy who will wear the same outfit everyday of the week, never style his hair even though we got him hair gel like 2 years ago, has had the same pair of target brand shoes since 2008, wears these basketball shorts that are now too short because he's worn them sine the sixth grade, and refuses to go with me to get clothes. But everything changed when I went out to buy him a Christmas present, and like every year, I buy him clothes because this is the one time of the year where he has to accept them and say thank you. I was at cotton on with my mom and the original plan for my mom was to go in there, buy maybe two shirts and leave, but I was determined... I was going to get my brother to wear and like a pair of joggers. I found a pair of copper toned, drop crotch, elastic ankle joggers and bought them. Even if he didn't like them, I was going to make him wear them anyway so.

Christmas morning came and he knew what was coming when he got to the present from me so he opened it all "ugh again", then he made a disgusted look on his face when he pulled out the joggers, but i was like you are going to like them and you are going to wear them. I forced him into his room to try them on and of course the whole time he was complaining and being all like "Theresa why did you buy me pants I hate pants so much I'm gonna kill, but only after you return them and get the money back, because then I'll get $30 bucks too." or whatever. Then his complaining stopped and i was like what do you think???? He kept doing that "I'm mad at you because I want to smile but I can't because then it will show that you were right" face. But apparently he liked them because he wore them for three days straight.

Another good thing happened where he actually made plans with me to go shopping, because my mom won't give me money to buy clothes because I buy too much, but now I get to vicariously shop through my brother which is !!!!!
