My parents adopted the boys. I was, and still am, more competitive than they. And they so take advantage of this. To this very day. Aren't brothers...wonderful?

No matter whose side I was on, I got blamed for their loss, so competition was never something I enjoyed, unless it's competition with myself.

Mind you, at that time, we had to run around in navy blue serge knickers. Enough to put anyone off for life!! I'm pretty competitive playing board games, and the odd game of Monopoly has been known to end up being thrown in the air!!!
