Sibling Rivalry...who is in the driver's seat?


Report cards came this week in the mail. Hovering over my shoulder, Shane nervously wondered would he get to live or die in the minutes after his dad saw his grades. He did great as expected and so did Cassie. I listened as they began to compare their grades.

Cassie: " How many A's did you get?"

Shane: " Four"

Cassie: " I got five"

Shane: " Wait, one, two, three, four, five... I got five!"

Cassie: " How many B's did you get?"

Shane: " Three"

Cassie: " Me too."

Shane: " What is your GPA?"

Cassie: "3.625"

Shane: " That's exactly what I got too."

Shane: " What did you get for Citizenship?"

Cassie: " I got all S's." (for satisfactory)

ah hah moment on Shane's face...he has found the hole!

Shane: "Let's see ( in a sarcastic tone)... in Math I got an"O"(for outstanding)
History "O"
Science "O"

On and on he goes into the fact that he has all "O"'s.

In a desperate moment Cassie recovers by explaining that outstanding isn't all that great since it really means you were the problem child "OUTSTANDING" in the hall.

Cassie left happy with the idea she has survived the defeat with her clever comment. Shane is left laughing at his sister's wit and mostly happy that he gets to live through the summer cause his dad is very happy with his grades. Dad didn't even look at those citizenship scores.
