I don't post about my brother on account of we really don't hang out or do anything together.
Time to time I'll message him to see what's new but that is all.
Well back toward the beginning of the year he brought over his new girlfriend for a holiday get together.
She didn't seem very interesting to me but was just the kind of woman I expected him to end up with again.
My brother has worked at Lowes for 15 years and recently quit to take a job as a used window salesman and about a month and a half ago he started talking about how he was trying to move so that his kid could attend school in a better district.
I'll admit I sort of thought the whole thing to be ludacris as there just was not enough time for anyone to really find, let alone close on a house and move.
Well today my mom came over to our house which was really odd because she never ever comes over to anywhere I am staying and I mean at all.
The last 3 places I've lived I think I have seen her come over twice including today and the time before she wouldn't get out of her car in the parking lot of my old apartment.
Anyways, she comes inside and starts jibber jabbering talking about how my brother and his new girlfriend bought a house together and how it's a mansion...
Yes, a mansion supposedly.
I kinda brushed it off as whatever but then she pulls out her phone and I'm not kidding when I say that it is indeed a fucking mansion.
(not it but pretty close)
So I'm scratching my head at this point half annoyed my mom came to our slum just to brag that my brother is a successful house husband now.
Trying to figure out just how the hell his girlfriend apparently can afford such a gigantic house my herself because I know he didn't chip in.
The previous owners built the house and lived there for 16 years but grew tired of trying to furnish all the rooms and that's why they sold it.
It's one of those big 30k sq foot houses with 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, movie theater, 6 car garage, 18 hole indoor golf course on 50+ acres with a fully stocked pond in the backyard.
Now, I am happy for my brother but he couldn't afford to fix the hold in his last roof after living there for 10 years and now he is in a mega mansion and all I can hope is that his girlfriend is really secure in her job because my brother sells used windows and probably can't afford the grass the mailbox is planted on.
Anyways, if it was a competition I forfeit.
