This morning, the doorbell rang while I was watching TV and when I answered it, Greyson Chance was stood at my doorstep, he smiled up at me with big shiny eyes "can I come in?" He asked, I nodded and opened the door wider, I closed it again once he was inside "what do you want?" I asked "is everything okay at home? Do your parents know you're here?" Greyson nodded. "I want to hang out with you" he replied "me?" I repeated "why would you want to hang out with me - I'm no-one special" "course you are, you're Ivan McCrough! I love your YouTube video's, can we please hang out together?" He pleaded. I sighed "what would your parents think? You're only thirteen, Greyson, and how did you find out my address?" "It's online" he replied "please? I told my parents where I was going and they said I could stay out until ten - that's my carefew." I was impressed, I turned off the TV and smiled down at him "okay, where are we going to go today?" I asked Greyson grinned "yes!" He cried "you're serious?" I nodded "I'm so happy" he beamed "I've always wanted an older brother to hang out with" I raised my eye-brows "really? Where do you want to go?" "The mall" Greyson answered "for sneakers and some food" "sounds good" I agreed "we can take the subway" "no, no, no" Greyson said raising his hands "my parents gave me cab fair, we can use that instead." I sighed "you can pay then, it doesn't feel right taking money from a kid" Greyson scowled "I'm not a kid!" "Okay, okay!" I sighed raising my hands "I'm sorry, guilty as charged!"
I thought baby-sitting Greyson for a day would be a drag but it was pretty cool, Greyson was pretty cool - period. We bought sneakers together, ate tofu and went to Target and played on the video games simulators - we had an awesome time and Greyson's like my real little brother except for Ellis of course!
