Jjimjilbang with the Family minus Shinae the Fool and Rhami the Triangle

So I went to jjimjilbang today with my family and it was quite an experience. More than anything, I learned about the relational aspects of people through a thorough observation of my brother.

Towards the beginning of the stay there, there were these piece of trash kids who flipped a birdy at my brother, tripped him while he was running, and almost beat him up if I didn't show up at the right moment. I was watching from a distance wondering why my brother would bother with people who were below him, but let him be because he deserved to learn that there were just some people not worth befriending. They reminded me of some people from my past and they are probably what a majority of the people in the world were when they were kids. I try my best to associate myself with people who were not completely asinine when they were children. I don't know how I gauge this but whatever.

THEN those little demon children went back to whatever hellhole they spawned from and a new group of kids came. These were phenomenally friendly to my brother. It was a beautiful 3 hour friendship.

At the end when we had to go home, I knew that my brother would never see his dear friend again. The truly sad thing was that my brother seemed to know this as well. Before the other boy's family left, my brother went and shook his hand to end the wonderful friendship they shared for the night. My brother was sad and in an attempt to console him, I told him, "I know you will never see him again, but I will always be here for you."

Now, there is a running game between my brother and I. I call him Captain and I am called the Magic Man. And I told him that Magic Man will forever be there for him because I am the Magic Man. And his face brightened instantly and all was good.

And then I got home, and then Simon bothered me about some quarters.
