That competitive feeling
Yes, we are in Bali this week at our Aunt's beautiful farm/house. It's a nice place to unwind, although it's hard to do so with 3 noisy kids around.
Earlier this evening, just before bed, I had a silly competition between Nigel and Shannon to see who could endure tickles on their feet without laughing. After about 10 seconds (not bad!), Shannon started getting the giggles and I declared Nigel the winner. Immediately, Shannon started getting angry and crying because she said she didn't want to lose. So I had to redo the competition again and rig it so that she won.
Do you call that sibling rivalry? A highly competitive nature? Or just cranky children before bedtime? It just tickles me.
