More like you should prevent me from killing Kevin
Me
Why arewe killing Kevin?
Imogen Phillips
I appreciate that you didn’t immediately come for me
Or say that violence wasn’t the answer
Me
That was kind of my job for six years
I’m the last person who should be judging threats of violence
Imogen Phillips
Touche.
My brother has gotten it in his head that he is God’s gift to mankind because he's been tasked with managing both the general store and my homestead
His ego is the size of Washington State right now
Me
Is he doing a bad job of it?
Imogen Phillips
That’s the PROBLEM
He’s doing a great job of running both of them.
It’s like he was born for management.
It's made him insufferable
Me
What’s bad about that?
Imogen Phillips
He’s trying to show me up!!
He’s trying to prove to everyone that he can take something that I built from scratch and do it better than me
#middlechildproblems
I didn’t have siblings, and couldn’t speak to the exact sibling dynamic of being the middle child sandwiched between two individuals that had their life together, and feeling like the odd person out, because you didn’t.
But I had been in the Marine Corps for six years, and I did know how it felt to be the one person who hadn’t hit their peak yet.
