My older brother (by 5 years) used to pick on me when I was young, but by the time I was 9 I realized that I was bigger than him, and put a stop to it. (Coincidentally, we used to team up to harass our older sister.)

Do you have children? It’s often a true statement that kids don’t act away from home the same way they do with their parents.

It was always heartening to hear from othershow polite, helpful and friendly they were.
