One day, just like any other days, the boys were again arguing over “each other talking nonsense”.

Brendan:”Shhhhh…..Don’t talk nonsense.”

Darren:”I am not talking nonsense.”

Brendan:”Who say you are not talking nonsense?”

Darren:”Mommy….  Gor Gor says I talk nonsense when I never! Gor Gor is the one talking nonsense!

Brendan:”I never hor! “

Darren:”This is nonsense!”

Brendan:”Why you can talk, I cannot? You were the one who talked first!”

So…the nonsense topic went on. I was confused.  The verbal war continued and Darren covered his ears and refused to talk to Brendan anymore. Brendan’s eyes started to wet and he was apparently upset to be challenged and rejected by his younger brother. Most of the time, as parents, we wonder the purpose of their quarrel *totally lost*

Papa and Mommy stepped in to interfere but the cold war, as usual, will only stop at a certain point when both boys feel that it is enough. Even with our interference and a short while of silence (with the boys noting our displeased faces), I guess the boys will not fail to pursue the verbal war later …until they have THEIR FINAL WORDS. 

{Sometimes, I wonder whether they engage in tense conversations to test whom their parents will side} *SIGH*.

The boys when they are loving:)

This is a part and parcel of siblings growing up together. 

So….while the days repeat themselves and while the boys get agitated by each other over the slightest misunderstandings, the next moment, they are fast to forget and forgive.  At the end of the day, they still love each other as BROTHERS and enjoy their childhood together:) 

{As adults, don’t we also tend to get agitated easily by our close ones and show less tolerance for them?}

Playful time for the squabbling brothers
