| I disagree. When I was seven, I used to get bullied a lot at school. I observed that all of the kids with big brothers did NOT get bullied so I wrote a single wish on my Christmas list that year - I wanted a big brother.
In the following spring, my brother was born. I was not impressed with the result at first, I was no longer an only child and THIS THING was not much use with my bullying issues. However, the boy grew and grew and, roughly around his sixteenth birthday, went past my own 5'10", finally ending up at 6'3".
Pedants would say that makes him my bigger brother but the terms of my order to Santa were completed - it's my own fault for not having specified a delivery date. | |

My li'l bro is not only six years younger, which he will never be able to catch up with, he also is a good inch shorter than me, which would need major surgery to correct. Otherwise he's ok. I couldn't ask for a better one.
Now that we are talking about him -- wait a minute. He has been doing a lot of karate the past few decades, much more than I anyway. Maybe I should ask him to knock Dougal off his dictionary all the same. He might be to busy right now, though. Ok, let's forget it.
