The green eyed monster, both of them

When I was a kid, a million and 5 years ago, I was raised as an only child for the most part. My sister 13 years older than I, married and moved out of the house by the time I was in first grade. By that time my brother joined the Air Force and was also gone, so I was the only one at home.

So, as a youngster, I didn't experience sibling rivalry or competition. So having two grands circling almost every issue as to who will go first, who gets the most, who can do what when and for how long, well let's just say I am at a loss. As a teacher and couselor for kids, I did a Nancy Reagan and just said No. Cuz I could with those kids and then they went home to complain to their parents or each other or Whatever. But living with two very head strong, giant willed, cutie patooties has given me a whole new perspective on the green eyed monster.

Elphaba ain't got nothin' on me.
