My girls are exactly 16 months apart. When they were younger they argued about who was favorite and who got what. We tried hard to get two of everything but as they got older it just wasn't possible because they wanted different things and the 16 months difference became an issue. Like when they each got a drivers license!
So the other day daugther 1 calls from Iraq and I do three-way to get her sister on the phone. We all chat and somehow the conversation turns to what got what during those years from 15 to 16. Daugther 1 got a car at 16 and when her sister turned 15, 4 months later she asked for and got a cell phone because she was too young to have a car. They went back and forth and who got what for christmas -VS- birthday and on and on and on. I closed my eyes and smiled, it felt like we were all sitting at home as they had the same old arguement over and over again. It never changes and probably never will. Then the line in Iraq got hit and we all came back to reality.
