Danny's writing challenge: This Is How I Fooled My Older Brother

It is May? Oh.. No, Not yet..

I guess as long as April is running, then there is still a time for new participation... Sorry Danny, I guess it's better to come late than not to come at all.. And thus, here it is my participation on Danny's Challenge: Fool's Day.

I remembered this event, when I left a comment on Mary's blog about valuing and loving our toes the way they deserve..

It happened once that I was playing a joke on my family. I told them that "Scientists say that the face of human being looks like their biggest toe." I added that this analytical research was applied on 500 volunteers and results were shockingly identical.. My family knew that I was telling a joke so they laughed at it and found it funny. But after some time, we were talking about something else and by chance we looked towards my older brother to find him focusing on his biggest toe and putting a mirror in front of him trying to find similarity between his face and his biggest toe, Muahahahahahahahahahaha..

I do not want to tell you that his face's color turned to red, when he saw the all of us bursting into a loud laughter..

That was really funny to remember it again and again.. But for him, it's still embarrassing for sure :P

Well, Thank you Danny for this challenge..

I hope you find it funny :)

Thanks for reading.

I would like more particularly to comment on some mistakes:

It is May?

I know it's a question here.. but sometimes I use normal sentence to make a question without making any grammatical changes.. perhaps it's grammatically wrong, but I wonder if something like that is used in the normal speech. I assume yes... Isn't it ?

A face of human being looks like his big toe.

The pronoun here refer to both genders (male and female). So, shall we usually use the masculine pronoun to refer to both genders in similar cases and in this case?

looking at himself in a mirror standing in front.

I think it's the native way to express that meaning.

we looked at my older brother.

The meaning that I wanted is more like "we caught a glimpse at him by chance". So, how do you think I should have said it?

I think that other mistakes are well noted.

Thanks again, Sir :)

AG, what a teaser you are :P

I am very thankful to you for correcting me, Mr. Danny...

I am really speechless before my too many mistakes.. I really don't know how I could pay attention to such mistakes, because it's more likely to be of a native speaker's intuition.. Thank you so much..

I am sorry for being late to answering your comment.. I just had some bad days..

Thanks again..
