We lived in Columbus, MS (which just happens to be the place where our dad was born). Mom started having contractions. They took me to a neighbor's. Mom and dad went to the hospital. Grandparents were called and on the way to get me from the neighbor's my Papaw was pulled over for speeding. No ticket given when the officer found out where he was going, only instructions to "slow down". Somewhere in there around 7:46am baby Ben was born. The world received a true gift. I met baby Ben soon after that and when I was told that he could not be put on the floor for me to play with, I lost interest.
I have since regained my interest and am truly blessed to have him as a brother. We have our moments and we will always be able to push each other's buttons on command, but I am blessed.
Ben just remember, no matter what, I will always be older!

I forgot a very important part of the story. When Papaw got the call that mom was going to the hospital and they needed to come get me, he didn't have enough gas in the car. They live in small town Mississippi and no gas stations were open 24hrs so he had to call and wake up the gas station owner so he could open up the store and let Papaw put gas in the car.
