This is Phil

Perhaps you are a little tired of Celia, Paige, Ellie and me. You've met Val, but have you met Phil? Phil is the Greenbaum Golden Boy. His only flaw is that he is not, infact, golden haired.

Here are ten things about Phil:

1) He is the first of the Greenbaums to go on a mission, and the only one of us who speaks a foreign language fluently. Until he returned, it was rumored that Greenbaums speaking foreign languages was physically impossible.

2) He thinks he might want to be a Broadcast Journalist, maybe. He's a sophmore in college. Time to decide, Phil.

3) He's a pretty funny writer. Don't know where he got that talent.

4) Phil doesn't like to read anymore. I think the last book he read was a Matt Christopher or RL Stein.

5) Snowboarding is one of Phil's hobbies. He also likes to ride motorcross bikes and do other macho things.

6) Girls like Phil.

7) Phil is number 7. He's the "good son" and he has the brand new truck to prove it.

8) When Phil was little, he believed he did not know how to smile. We do not have a single picture of Philly alone and smiling.

9) All of the cousins (grandchildren) are in love with Phil because he's the most fun guy they know. He wrestles with them and tickles them and gives them rides.

10) Phil used to be in love with Hillary Duff. They broke up when she started dating that tattoo guy and got all weird skinny, like an orange on a toothpick.


If you don't know Phil, you should meet him. I'd venture to say he is the most palatable of the Greenbaums.

We all need a brother or uncle like that. You guys are lucky. Hope he reads your post.

Good thing you didn't put his phone # down, he might have had to change it.

But Phil did have golden hair as a child, didn't he? So it's in him. Thanks for the spotlight on him--I don't know much about him!

Pig Latin counts as a foreign language. So there.

OK I noticed that girls like Phil but does Phil like girls? :)

Once upon a time, when I was in your mom's plays, Kristin Selland would flirt with Elliot Call, and I would flirt with Phil. Looking back, this is very odd, seeing as I'm like 4 years older than Phil. Oh well. He's a peach.

Nevermind Phil...How about those lovely cheeks he's holding?!

I loved this, because I DON'T know Phil! Very very good post. Should we set him up with my pretty 20 year old sister?

Cheap attempt at getting Phil to read my blog.

He sounds like a gem just like the rest of you!

Wait a minute, weren't we going to set phil up with my cute sister? Spencer thinks our families are too opposite. But Paula Abdul said opposite attract, and I'll be darned if Paula would ever lie to me. And by too opposite, he means that your conservative is my liberal. My family doesn't even know how liberal I am, and I'm not, really. :) I still think Phil sounds like a catch.
