The other day Jack was driving Michael crazy by copying him. Anything Michael wanted, Jack wanted. Milk instead of his usual apple juice for breakfast? Ok by Jack. No ketchup on his hamburger that day? Jack said “fine.” Michael was trying everything to get his brother to stop copying. Finally, Michael had a heart-to-heart with him and Jack promised to try to not copy his big brother all day Thursday.
Thursday
I took the boys to Cold Stone for ice cream after running a million errands. I asked the boys what they wanted and after stalling for a long time…
Jack: “Whatever Michael is having.”
Michael: “Mom, Jack is copying me again. Jack, I thought you were going to try to not copy me all day today.”
Jack: “Michael, I said try and try is when you try to do something. I tried.”
Michael: “Two small peanut butter perfections please.”

Michael LOVES his bro! How far apart are they? Sweet story~
They're 4 years apart – they are so cute :-)
Michael must be very special if his younger brother wants to copy him all day long!
I like the same ice cream as Michael does too. Can I copy?
Thank Michael & Jack for providing me with constant entertainment.
