“Absurdly or amusingly eccentric or irrational”
Day 3 of honoring Rick’s birthday season (birthday season rules)
When Rick and I were growing up (childhood pictures of Rick & me) my favorite fun game was to make him get on all fours on the floor while I would stand over him squeezing his neck between my ankles and rock back and forth. Mom just didn’t understand how much fun it was and would yell at me, “Stop!!! You’re going to break his neck!”
I never broke his neck but . . .
. . . Wick’s* wittle brain wrattling around in his head may be the reason for some of his “amusingly eccentric” attempts to heal childhood trauma. Cases in point:
Rick as a Clown, trying to prove he doesn’t have brain damage and is a fun guy.
Rick as a Headless Horseman (flashback of our head rocking game) and Sheila trying to pretend it’s ok he has no head.
Rick, as a pirate – expressing pent-up hostility from childhood trauma, arrrgh
All I can say is it’s a good thing I’m a psychotherapist . . . he needs my help.
*Wick = Rick
P.S. PLEASE do not show these pictures to anyone because Rick is a respected realtor in Denver.
This is fun post and shows how much love and respect flows between you and Rick, Judy.. It’s great to be having memories like these.. lovely pics..
And I wish to invite you to my 900th post here..

I think you meant to say Rick WAS a respected realtor in Denver. I think, now that you have outed him, he might want to join the witness protection program. Or maybe just simply pay you back as siblings do. Go Wick, Go!!

My favorite game as a child was “kill the brother”. He’s survived and become a respected psycho disguised as a psycho-therapist. ;-}

Vandi,
According to your “kill the brother” rules Rick should have become the psycho-therapist and I should have become respected . . . or Rick should have respected me for not killing him .. .
