I made the mistake of telling my two sons that it was natural that they should be competitive with each other and fight a lot because they were brothers.
The next time a rumble commenced that got on my last nerve, I yelled at them something to the effect of "settle down now you heathens, what the hell is wrong with you?"
The both stopped, looked at me and said, in unison, "But Dad!! We're brothers!!!" And started pummeling each other once again.
I gave up and started drinking.
