Why can't we?
The boys came with me to pick up their sister at her preschool. As we were leaving we passed another family. The middle son in that family was a pre-K classmate of my boys and now attends first grade at a different elementary school in town.
The mom asked if she could tell me a story. Her kids ran into the school while mine ran into the newly fallen snow.
"The other day," the mom starts, "S (her son) and D (her daughter) were fighting - like siblings always do" as she rolls her eyes. "Then S stopped and said,
'Hey D - remember those twins? W and F? They always get along and they're brothers. We're brother and sister. Why can't we get along like them?'"
Then suddenly I had a 7 year old slam into me as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

my brother once rode down a hill on a sled while also sitting on my head so my face was in the snow the whole way down. somehow snow negates every crime.
FC - I can't stop laughing over THAT one!!
..and see? W and F's legend lives on, because S and D were not there to witness that. LOL
Kids are a hoot..... LOL

HA HA! They always prove ya wrong no matter what!
LOL. Perfect timing!
oh oh and what was the look on that woman's face? didn't you both just crack up?
Well, did you at least feel good for 30 seconds? Kids!
I keep telling my two (12 and 6) that when they grow up they'll be friends. I think they still don't believe me because I think they don't see their uncles and aunt as my brothers and sister.
That, is a great story.
I have to agree with Suzanne's comment!
Don't you love it when a point is Illustrated, right before your very eyes? LOL
Great real-time example of "brotherly love"!
Hahahaha. Great timing!
