Brother

As you all know Vince Vernon (the name says it all) has always wished that he was part of the Johnston Family. Whether it was by moving into our basement, stealing our birthdays, attending Sunday dinners, or presenting our parents with his Missionary Plaque; he has somehow always finagled his way into our family and in the process earned the title "Brother."

Vince and I have the same birthday (hence him stealing birthdays), and so it was appropriate that Oliver and I "accidentally" ran into him while shopping in Park City. When Vince saw me he insisted on giving me a birthday present. I had no idea what that birthday present could possibly be. I knew it was not going to be a cute shirt or a gift card, because let's face it...Vince is just way too cheap. I never would have guessed what was about to happen. He made me close my eyes and lead me around the corner to my birthday present. It was a ride on a mechanical horse named Zorro. Apparently I wasn't very good at it, so Vince had to join me. It was probably one of the more random experiences of my life, but only Vince would glory on a ride on a mechanical horse. Happy Birthday Brother.
