There are 2 years and 2 months in age between me and my younger brother. As a child, his entire raison d'etre was to wind me up as much as possible. He was the international expert. I have a sneaking feeling the only reason this dynamic has mostly disappeared in adulthood is because we don't see each other all that much. Even now in our late 20s, on occasion (usually around Christmas) it can return. Enjoy! :) This made my day. There are 2 years and 2 months in age between me and my younger brother.

Our youngest is a poker and pusher of her older brother's buttons but it often devolves into shrill screaming. They are both so civilized about it though.

It was an amazing thing, to laugh together with my daughter about his joke, and then to see by the twinkle in his eyes that he pretty much <em>meant</em> to crack a joke. Little imp. And <strong>hahnathome</strong>, I'm thinking, the deliciousness of getting the older sibling's goat is the mother of invention. You are so welcome, rev2bebt!
