overheard.

i am in the kitchen programming the coffee pot for tomorrow mornings caffeine fix. american idol is on the tv screen. i hear colin & nathan but i can't see them. i strain to eavesdrop on their conversation over some terrible singer trying to sound like the beatles. what are they talking about tonight? usually its a sports topic or a new app on their itouch. as i get closer i hear colin say 'what is the major conflict between the jews and palestinians about?' - nathan responds. colin continues with 'the arabian peninsula is home to which country?' again nathan responds & colin congratulates him on his correct answer. who knew that the middle east assessment review would be shared among two brothers tonight? who knew that i would witness it? who knew these are the special moments that create everyday memories. good luck on your test tomorrow nathan!
