“Don’t have the face down yet though.”

Once, there was a family of 5. Dad, Mom, 3 boys.

One day, Mom was in the back, giving a bath to the youngest boy. The other two boys were in the family room playing the Wii. Seemingly, out of nowhere, the middle boy starts wailing as though he has been the victim of the most unholy injustice known on this planet. This causes the youngest to comment: “Beanbaum hurt Yucas?”. This is not uncommon, it’s a regular thing for brothers to fight. We all know that. The older is bigger and not afraid to get physical with the middle brother.

Mom, pausing to get youngest boy out of the tub before launching the investigation, arrives a short time after the initial wailing has subsided. Unnoticed, she overhears part of the conversation between brothers:

Middle Boy: “I can make the sound whenever I want. I don’t have the face down yet though.”

Luckily, he hasn’t yet learned that only he should have that knowledge: 1. Once Parents realize it, he’ll lose that advantage, and 2. it’ll only get him pounded more often by older brother anyway.
