I would get out the video recorder and some popcorn. Show them later how childish they looked with arms flailing about
Excellent idea!

to think that one day we will depend on them, that is a worry.

Good luck on that. If you aren't supporting one or both of them the rest of your life, you're either smart or lucky. I think you are smart for getting them educated...in fact if I had it to do over, I would have absolutely insisted, but at some point you have to let them make their own decisions. If they leave your home with college degrees, especially an M.D. and a nursing degree, they should be able to make it on their own...barring a bad marriage, and other unforseen problems.

You should be very proud of them both. You should also get comfort from the fact that they love each other enough to do things like this to each other.
Don't pay any attention to the negative Nancys here. Jealousy is an ugly thing....

It's not so much about negativity, but experience. Sibling rivalry is normal, but we have to try to keep it within the normal range, and that chore usually falls to the parents. Without undue explanation, my relationship with my siblings could be, and could have been better.

Eldest lives at home but in her own unit, youngest drops in a couple of times a week or more to feed the dogs if we are away.
And I do have a brother that I would inflict my wrath upon, amazinglyy we get on well.
I remember when I was an apprentice tech our supervisor would waatch us soldering delicate items and flick us on the ear causing the iron to push into your finger, wouldn't be allowed to do that today.

Between my 2 grandpas, my dad and me, there's 17 women.... no other guys. We know when to head to the garage or basement :laughing:
At any given time, some of them are/were not on speaking terms with others of them. I've never observed that to the extent as with my friends that had brothers, or my friends that have sons. They don't call it the hen house for no reason, and there's always a pecking order that's in constant ebb and flow. As they get older, it tends to settle down, but they still get on each other's nerves to some extent. And don't even factor in the phase of the moon....
