Sibling Rivalries
There is no playing for fun. No matter how old my sister and I get, put us in front of an air hockey table and we are going to fight to win.
“Siblings: children of the same parents, each of whom is perfectly normal until they get together.”
- Sam Levenson
The two kids at the air hockey table could have been my sister and me. The brother was a couple of years older and was dominating his sister who could barely see over the table. Still, she was determined and feisty. That is until her mother tried to offer advice and became the target of pent-up frustration. The sister stormed off and the game was over.
My sister and I stepped up to the table and were instantly transported back in time. We were no longer two adults past the half-century mark playing in a corporate arcade. Instead, we were a couple of kids just a few years older than the ones we had just been watching and we were set to do battle in my grandparent’s garage while the adults visited upstairs.
