Little brother

As the youngest of two girls, I never fully understood the concept of the annoying younger brother. Now that I am the mother to one, I'm glad I never had to experience it first hand.

I am truly amazed at the instinct my little boy has when it comes to sibling torture -- and even more impressed at how much he delights in this activity. Somewhere, at the beginning of his younger-than-she bible is a commandment that reads, "Thou shall relish every opportunity to terrorize thy older sibling; for her cries shall be your laughter; her tears, your joy; and her screams, your lifeforce." And Owen sees that this commandment is obeyed.

OMG. That is so f-ing true. As an older sister to a younger brother, I can attest: it never, ever stops.
