Priceless Advice from an 11-year-old Brother

Let's just say that last night was not one of the best of my life, and I may or may not have spent a little time on the phone with my mom talking it out.  Anyway, a little bit later I got this awesome email (which I will edit for the sake of my audience) from Nathan.  That boy is wise beyond his years, and hilarious to boot!  I've said before how much I adore that boy, and this is just one of the many reasons why:

Darling not to remind you of this. ( Here comes the mushy part!!) I want you to know that I'll always be here for you and I love you and that if I were with you right now his nose would be permanently impounded into his face making him look more stupid than he already does =). I love you and i want you to trust your instinct with men, not thee instinct "look how hot", or... etc etc etc.  i want you to trust your innnner instinct the one you have not found yet, the one thats like "he's hot but im holding back cause he may be like the other jerk...." the guy you need to meet should be respectful of woman, not a jerk, protecting of woman, and all that. well, this is Nathan Nelson speaking, Good night Lara. i love you nighty night.

(Just as a side note: I'm not heart broken over any boys.  Nathan, I think, just got tired of hearing about the jerks and wanted to give me some advice so he wouldn't hear it anymore.  Or something like that.  Probably.)
