reminds me of when I was a junior and desperately wanted that class ring, but had no regular job (was only 15) That $200+ ring was taking forever to buy w/ babysitting gigs.... my brother (not usually a generous person) paid for 1/2 of my ring.
My brother took some of his money from his job at the hardware store (in highschool) to buy a real radio (AM/FM and cassette player all in one) for my 72 Chevy and then put it in for me! Sometimes those brothers can really surprise us through all the torment they give us.
