Aidan celebrated his fourth birthday yesterday, opening gifts even as he moaned that he didn’t want to be four. He wanted to stay three. (We all know how you feel, kid.)
As usual, there was older brother Mack surveying the take. Mack, who’ll be 7 in December, claims full custody of all his own toys and gifts, of course, and enforces his ownership with brute force.
But, being the older brother, Mack also claims half-custody of all of Aidan’s gifts.

It’s mine! That’s Mack’s hand on the left and Aidan’s hands on the right. Look at the strength they’re each using to control the package!
Almost as much ice cream as boy.
Jill reports: “Now Aidan is spending the day trying to keep Reid [the youngest brother] from taking any percentage.”
I’m not sure why I thought of it but I just remembered R. Kliban’s book “Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head.”
