Famous brothers (like us!)

Greetings everyone and good day.  Hope all is well with you and your families.

Since you know now that I have a little brother (Chip), you know I'm not an only child and there are more like me at home.  If you are an only child, that's ok too, because everyone is different.  And there is no right or wrong answer for how big a family should be.  And sometimes, brothers and sisters don't get along too well.  I talk to my little brother all the time, I hope you do too.  It takes some effort to get along with him, but it's worth it.  He's always on my side.  (And then he'll make some jokes about me being heavier than him, but that's part of the effort).  Like Kermit and Fozzie Bear.  No, they were not brothers, but friends, and Fozzie drove Kermit crazy sometimes, didn't he?!
