Now or Never: Sibling Love is A Voltron of Wolverines
May 28th, 2009 by Jeff Simmermon
Those of you that know me well know that my sister and I love each other with a love that is tremendous, powerful, and savage. Like if Voltron were formed up out of grizzly bears and wolverines with killer beehives for hands.
I told a story about our relationship at The Moth’s GrandSlam a few months back — hope you enjoy it:

This story makes me sad I’m an only child.
(this is the first time I’ve been here. I don’t know how I got here… I’m sure I’ll come back)

This guy’s hilarious. Best new comedian I’ve heard since Dane Cook. And I am not lying.

I had a semi-magical radio Saturday and caught this story on This American Life. Absolutely fantastic. I forwarded it to everyone I know and look forward to hearing more. Thanks, j

Heard this on the TAL over the weekend and dedicated to my brother on Facebook. Love it. Ah, the memories of wanting to beat up kids who even thought of picking on my little bro! Thanks for sharing!

I loved this story so much…
I want to tell it to my little brother ( we also share a fierce voltron-like love) on his birthday next week. Is it in print anywhere?

Hey Jeff,
This was such a fantastic story! I heard it on TAL and thought it was one of the best stories I had heard in a LONG time. I can totally relate.
