Don't mess with a Rohde brother

    I had a dream a few nights ago that was remarkably similar to an actual Rohde brother experience from many many years ago.  In the dream my brothers and I were on a dock by the ocean. Some punk kid decided to push Jaron in, so I immediately pushed the kid in.  At that point, the kids friend tried to push me in, but Joel and Jake stepped up and took care of him for me.  The kid was out of friends, but I was not out of brothers.  I tend to have vague dreams, so I don't really remember much else, but the actual experience is more interesting.
    When we were kids our dad played slow pitch softball in a city league.  At one of his games my brothers and I were playing on the playground in the park.  One of the other kids on the playground who was Joel's age decided to pick a fight with Joel.  He was promptly taken over by all four Rohde brothers.  His dad was mad, but our dad said, "If you pick on one, you pick on them all." That's the cool part of having 3 brothers.  If you pick on one, you pick on us all.  Don't mess with the Rohdes.

I never had brothers to back me up.....besides, I was more the "pick a fight with multiple people who are all bigger and older than me" type.

And when the rooster crows and cows are spinning in the pasture...ducks fly together.

I wonder how often over the course of this blog we will remember details of stories differently. I mean, I didn't find any instances in this post, but I totally expect for one of us to write a post about a story from our childhood and others of us to think, "but THAT'S not how it happened!"
