Introducing... MITCHELL!

Big apologies- Mitchell does not look like this anymore at all; it turns out that we have no recent pictures of him. Now, he is probably almost as tall as (and bigger than) Matt. Mitchell is Matt's youngest brother, and he is the third youngest Gibson child. He is almost 16 and a sophomore at Westwood HS. Where shall we begin?

Well, for starters, if there is anyone who eats more candy than me, it's Mitchell. If sugar or high fructose corn syrup is the first ingredient, then Mitchell will eat it. About 50% of the time, Mitch is consuming Mike and Ikes, Skittles, Lemonheads, or something of the sort.

Speaking of "consuming." Consumption is one of Mitchell's strong suites. He will shamelessly beg for treats anytime he is with anyone who has buying power.

Mitch is without a doubt the social butterfly of the family. He could be with friends all day everyday and never come home, and that would be perfectly fine with him. Rumor has it that even though he usually makes the a-team in school sports, he'd prefer to be on the b-team so that he could hang out with his closer friends more often. Most other things come second to social life for Mitchell.

Usually when the whole Gibson family goes out to dinner together, Mitchell can be found doing one of two things. He is either 1) playing games on his cell phone or his ipod touch, or 2) spitting ice through his straw at one of his siblings. This hasn't changed since I met him 6 years ago. I should add that his brick-breaker score is like 500,000 or 480,000 or something like that.

We love Mitchell! He is a warm-hearted, easy-going extrovert who loves to consume things and socialize. He is also good at ping-pong, and based on the one football game we saw this year, he's a really great quarterback too.
