I believe the things that are said about sibling rivalry are true. The younger sibling does seem to strive to have and do anything and everything that the elder sibling has or does. Here is a prime example from our dinner table.
Trey was in a foul mood and was being scolded every minute or two. Finally Daddy took Trey and put him in a time out. Kayelynn began whining, "I wan out!"(translation: "I want a time out")
Even after Trey returned to the table he was still misbehaving. Daddy declared that Trey must go to bed. While Daddy was taking Trey to his room, Kayelynn started crying softly. "What's wrong,Baby?" I asked her.
"I want bed" she sobbed.
I had to laugh. Kids really do want what the other has!
The Thing I Have Been Wondering

It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...
