Single children tend to be unaware of the struggles – and joys – of growing up with a sibling. There are fights and jealousies but equally, there is fun and camaraderie – sometimes all mixed together at the same time. A fight can be fun and competitiveness is like an unending thread that runs through the relationship. So this video of an older brother trying to lock out his younger brother – who proved too smart for him – is something any sibling will identify with:
The older brother gets inside and quickly tries to close the door on his little brother – to keep him out so he can make him cry and beg, presumably? But the little fellow manages to foil his plans with a perfectly timed and aimed jacket.
We've all had such experiences with our siblings – as this tweet reminisces.
That little kid earned a lot of admiration for this swift thinking and instinctive action.
…If this is what it is like to have a sibling, I'm happy to be a single child suggests this tweet.
The instinctive reaction of the younger brother to wedge his jacket in the doorway – perfectly timed!
…The all-suffering parent caught in the crossfire.
In some cases, the parental wrath will rain down on the squabbling siblings.
This is clearly a younger sibling speaking.
One commentator shared this picture of himself and his younger brother who apparently have been fighting for 65 years – but still love each other to bits.
This commentator thinks such quick thinking problem-solving has to do with playing video games such as Fortnite.
This has happened before, thought the tweeple
Maybe they could make a series around this?
Some said they would watch such a series.
That kid is going to be Batman!
The video about the little brother outsmarting his elder brother amused people.
As a younger sibling myself who was tormented by a brother nearly 8 years older than me for all my childhood years – I totally sympathise with the little guy.
