"You need blood tests"

Usually, a son will call his mother on Mother's day, but I was so busy today that she called me before I called her. We spoke in Spanish for a bit and I apologized that I hadn't sent her gift. I have to go to the store when they are open.

On the way home from Family Home Evening, I mentioned that Russell will have to sleep on the couch when his girlfriend, Jennie, comes to visit. He laughed and then asked if I was being serious. When I told him I was, he got really mad and started trying to talk me out of it. Besides being immoral because they aren't married, I told him that I wasn't going to let my 21-year-old brother sleep in a bed with his girlfriend that he hasn't seen in 4 months.

He argued that Brian and I weren't married so I couldn't use marriage as a reason. I countered that while marriage isn't an option for us, we live like a married couple. We have a house together, share a checking account, and have stupid arguments over the littlest things.

For the rest of the night, Russell only said, "F*** you" to me and was overly nice to Brian to spite me. I blew it off and felt like my father probably did when we were younger.
