Sibling Rivalry I

Round One

Like most siblings, nine-year-old John and seven-year-old Brittany are the best of friends and the worst of enemies. They are playing with Legos on the living room floor. Dad is watching the football game on TV and is amazed the kids are getting along so well, but the fun is about to end.

“Brittany, I need another wheel for my tank,” says John.

“No, John, I’ve got it on my wagon,” Brittany says.

(Dad squirms in his chair. It’s fourth-and-goal for the good guys.)

“Lemme just use one wheel now. I’ll give it back to you later,” suggests Brother.

“No, my wagon needs four wheels,” replies Sister.

“Your wagon looks stupid!”

“Dad, John’s gonna take one of my wheels and I had them first!”

(Dad’s team had to try for a field goal and it was blocked. Dad is not pleased.)

“Both of you, knock it off!”

“She doesn’t need to hog all the wheels. There aren’t enough for me to make what I want, and they’re my Legos.”

“But I made this first!”

“OK, kids, that’s 1 for both of you.”

“She’s an idiot.” (John smashes his creation and leaves.)
