Its kind of odd looking back at things. We never complimented each other but always tried to out-do the other... be it school (oldest straight Bs.. me A-Bs, youngest all As), golf, piano playing, swimming (oldest 1 mile, me 2 miles, youngest 4 miles), and on and on.<BR/><BR/>I hope we've all mellowed out some - I've really no idea what Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972423422834567176.post-29048203660934508322007-07-08T22:35:00.000-04:002007-07-08T22:35:00.000-04:00I used to be a poor loser as a child too, but when...I used to be a poor loser as a child too, but when I acted like that mom wouldnt play games with either one of us (board games were a huge staple of entertainment in the family).

In grade school I enjoyed hanging with the boys more, but in high school no one gave me the time of day, neither girls nor boys.<BR/><BR/>I will admit that as a child I was a very poor loser.
