I swear we don't need another child

Because Sarah already has a brother in all but blood ties.

Her best friend, a little boy up the street, they are literally like brother and sister. More importantly, they fight like siblings.

Like the ride to school, as we swap drop off and pick up, letting one parent do one, we'll do the other. I did so the other day, and it SO reminded me of when my brother and I were little:

Sarah "don't touch me C"

C *waves hands close, but doesn't touch* "I'm not touching you"

Sarah "C, leave me alone."

C repeats

Keep going until Sarah gets fed up and whacks him with a book. Then he complains.

And so on.......


Now, dont get me wrong, it doesnt all go one way, Sarah gets her digs in too.....

*they get in the car*

Sarah tattles "C was bad today at school"

C "sarah, dont call me bad"

Sarah "C was bad today"

C" sarah, I said dont call me bad"

Sarah "You were naughty......"


Its give and take.

So we don't need another child, because Sarah apparantly already has a brother.....
