SIBLING RIVALRY
“It’s no fair, Mom! How come Robbie gets to go on the school art museum trip, and I don’t?? He’s just a year older”
“Howie, I told you before. You have to improve your grades, but despite being yelled at several times, you’re too busy playing street-hockey with your ‘posse’ to do your homework. You’ve slipped from B-, to C. You’ll have to stay home and study.”
Rob couldn’t resist taunting his younger brother. “Art is for people with maturity. You haven’t been showing much lately, so you have to stay home while I go, and eat your heart out.”

As long as it remains ‘conversation’, and not as Granonine suggests below, “needs a clout up alongside the head.” 😳

Exactly! I used to worry it would come to blows at times. Thankfully never did. Not yet anyway!🙄

Poor Howie. I don’t think this is the way to encourage him to improve his grades. A great picture of sibling one-up-man-ship.

A bit full of himself (and other things), he thinks he’s all that and a packet of crisps. 😛

Dear Archon,
Big brother’s a real prince. You definitely captured sibling rivalry. Eat your heart out. My brother and I used to exchange that one frequently.
Shalom,
