Are you my 'Brother'?

Our girls trip really was just that other than my brother, two teenage nephews and their friend tagged along. We didn't mind though because the boys did their thing while us girls did ours. Once in a while we would do a family activity which brings me to share this story.

We all went on a 'jungle boat' excursion where we paired up and drove speed boats through the 'jungle' to a snorkeling spot. My sister and I chose to be a pair. When we reached our destination everyone jumped in and started snorkeling, except me and my sister, we took a few minutes to snap some pictures of us decked out in our snorkeling gear. Once we finally jumped in the water our group was spread out and we didn't know who was who.

 After about thirty minutes or so  my sister thought she saw the top of my brothers head so we swam in that direction. When we got close to him, I pinched his leg like a biting fish.
He immediately took his head out of the water and flipped the mask up on his forehead.

When I saw his face I didn't recognize it as my brothers and immediately started apologizing. "I'm so sorry, I thought you were my brother." The fella just stared at me like I was a crazy person so I apologized again, "I'm really sorry, I seriously thought you were my brother."

My sister is looking at me and so is this man, then the guy laughed and said, "I am your brother!"

By this point my sister and brother are cracking up but to my own defense, with the mask on his forehead it made his face all squishy looking. Clearly a mistake anyone could make, although a funny one in which I still giggle every time I think about it.

Looks like there was much fun in the sun happening. So glad your brother has a good sense of humor, it could have a whole different story if it was someone else.

I meant 'it could HAVE been a whole different story...'

Ha! I almost pinched my FIL's butt, thinking it was my husband. Now THAT would have been awkward.
