Humph. Ha-ha. So there.

It’s inevitable, really.

There’s never an end to it.

Maybe it’s not always obvious and blatant... Still, it’s there.

Even when one is completely ignorant as to the subject matter, it’s there.

It may be somewhat passive aggressive at times… But if you look, really look, oh surprise, surprise; it's there.

Competition.

Also known as “sibling rivalry.”


Overheard earlier:

Blessing #3: Guess what? We watched “Turkey Cheese” today!

B#1 (aloofly): Oh. I’ve already seen that.

B#4: No, it was “Turkey-lese.” We watched “Turkey-lese” today!

B#1 (doubly aloofly): Oh. I’ve already seen that, too.


Really now... you don’t say... what an impressive movie-viewing repertoire for my 7-year-old!

The fact that it was actually “Hercules” is not all that important, I'm sure, since she's most certainly already seen that one, as well.
