This is a question Helicopter Parents

Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.

Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

It's 'me and my brother' not 'my brother and I'. I is a subject not an object.

An easy way to remember it Geeebon is to take out the extra words like "say good night to" and see how the sentence looks.

You wouldn't say "me went to the zoo", therefore you do not say "my brother and me went to the zoo".

Similarly, you would not say "they came to the zoo with I" so you would not say "they came to the zoo with my brother and I".

It's "Yo, Holmes". For years and years I assumed the salutation was "homes", short for "home boy", but after watching The Wire with subtitles and thinking it was strange how the captioners kept making a mistake, I did my own research, and apparently "Holmes" is a common nickname among African-Americans, referring to a Mr John Holmes who starred in many pornographic motion pictures.

That's all, carry on.
