Brother

I have two brothers, one older and one younger. They keep moving away from me.... (and giving me personal smelly products for Christmas. Is this a hint?)

The younger one moved to an Asian country late last year, via the USA. He's what you might call peripatetic.

My elder brother moves to Tamworth tomorrow for work. He's pretty happy about it. All the best bro!

Younger bro here. Do you know words like peripatetic or did you have to look them up (like me).

Don't worry though, my wife is quite peri-un-patetic and that is balancing us out nicely. When we moved in to this house, she looked at me and said "I want to live here for at least 9 months". Wow, how is that for permanent!!

I am disturbed that this word ryhmes with "very pathetic". hmmmm

Of course I know what peripatetic means. I wouldn't have a clue how to go about looking up a word like that in the dictionary anyway... if I didn't know what it meant. Glad that I could add to your vocabulary, even if it does rhyme unfortunately. Still, I wouldn't have thought of it myself...

you can look under P. That's what most people do because most dictionaries are in alphabetical order. :)

(I say most, because I have one that isn't!)
