First of all, thank you for taking time to read this thread.
I have a brother who's soon moving away to pursue a university degree. We've never really been close in any sens -- both of us just sort of "tolerating" each other, as opposed to ever being friends. Last night, he asked if I would like to join him for a cup of coffee. I just froze. "My brother, and I?, going for coffee?" I just couldn't get my head around it. I told him that I couldn't. He asked me why I couldn't go for coffee. Once again, the real smooth fellow that I am, I tried to come up with something amusing. Like an idiot, and put my hands up in the air and yelled "BECAUSE THERE'S NO MORE BANANAS!!" I put this stupid grin on my face and started doing a stupid little jig around the room, even doing some high knees and butt kicks in the process (never hurts to do a bit of plyo work! *sarcasm*). He just looked at me, and turned around and left. Probably the last time I'm going to see him for about 3 years.
How can I possibly make it right?
