Lol. I can so relate. For some reason my oldest seems to think she's my favorite of course the others disagree. One day my youngest daughter said I know you just let her think that to make her feel better about herself, but you and I know who your real favorite is. I tell them they're all my favorite then mumble PIA's. They'll say we heard that mom and laugh. My oldest is 35 youngest 27.

They?ve been at it like this for twenty years.

A matter of semantics. Reminds me of that riddle--which comes first--the chicken or the egg? Personally, I think 'adore' wins. But Mom is smart. A fun story about sibling rivalry.

They?re at it all the time.
Comment from humpwhistle
Oy, all mother's should have such difficult decisions to make. Myrtle Goldbloom's offspring act like they don't even have a mother!
My sister and I used to flatter my Mom in a similar way. But it was more in the vane of Tommy and Dickie Smothers.
Best of luck in the competition, Bill.
Peace, Lee

This stuck in my mind and is just one of many one-ups they have been involved in. I no longer know if their insecurity is feigned or genuine. I?m chopped liver no matter what.
Comment from JudyE
Kids!! They never really grow up, do they? And parents never really stop worrying about them either. Our 'boys', both in their 40s, have, since the pandemic hit, become very concerned about us. Not that they weren't before but it's more apparent now. Good luck if the contest hasn't already been.

Thank you, Judy. Those kids love their mother to pieces.
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Bill, get two kids and what do you get. A "top this" conversation like the one posted here.
What a Very True Story this is!
God, please help the parents who have three or four children, to keep their affection and eliminate the strife.

Lol. That's so hard on moms when there is still that vying for mother's affection. Of course, she loves them both. A cute story everyone can relate to. Best wishes in the contest!

-Nice artwork and
presentation, Bill.
-A good story to go with it.

the same signature.
-You have a way with making
things humorous with
30 somethings vying for their
mother's attention.
-Of course, I wonder if they
know they are written about?
-The conversation is very good.
-Thanks for sharing it, and
good luck in the contest.

Haha, what a fun contest entry--fun in the way you wrote it. I can see this happening as I read it. Sibling rivalry--what would they do without it? Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
Gosh, what a complicated network of relationships binds your family together. I would bang the kids' heads together and tell them to pull as one.
I am 61 and my baby brother died aged 52 (I still have my second brother). My parents have never been the same since our loss and really need their remaining children to be united. If we fought, especially if it involved them, they would be devastated. Life is too short. Enjoy your children and help them to enjoy you, while you all can.

They don?t fight; they?re just competitive for their mom?s approval. I?m choppedliver.

You, I feel sorry for. I maintain that your wife will find this harder as she grows older, unless they stop (but this seems unlikely).
