My second youngest foster brother at the home was the Rules Lawyer of our flock. We often find ourselves going to him for the rules and bylaws of last slices of pizzas, remote control ownership, and acceptable bathroom time. Just about the only reason we tolerate his moments of “Well ACTUALLY it’s pronounced ‘crow-shay’.” No surprise, he grew up to be a real lawyer now.
It doesn’t have to be fisticuffs. Maybe a squirt gun duel, or a pillow fight, or a King of the Hill competition would make the point and be a lot more fun.

Might be a pretty evenly matched fight. They are both the same size. (And level of clueless.)

It’s always nice to have these things down in writing. Less confusion this way.

Alas, being an only child, Miles had no idea. I wonder when they handed out the book of bylaws.

I’m a big brother but I don’t have a sibling manual. I wonder where he got one? Lol

But, he called him a cute, " terms of endearment" name….!!

If Miles had a sibling, he’d completely understand

Kevin that is what a complement sounds like

As a younger sibling, I learned that the rule was “If parents aren’t around, the rules are whatever the older sibling says they are.”

I bet it’s the only book he studies.

Sweet potato is a compliment. I often refer to little ones as ‘Sweet Pea.’ It’s a lovely little flower, just like the child.

“Sweet potato” was a TERM OF ENDEARMENT, you potato!

That kid must not have enough love in his life when he does not know the difference between an endearment and an insult.

“You little sweet potato” is not an insult. Only a complete ingnoramoose wouldn’t get that.
