Observation at MRT

Last Friday, I met a mother at MRT station who took her two sons to Taipei Zoo. One is about three years old, and the other is about five years old. They were on their way home, so was I. It's so interesting to observe the way they get along with each other. They kept fighting for the seat which is closer to windows. The older brother are smarter, because he knew many tricks to draw his mother to his side. For example, he gave his lie a proper excuse to rationalize it, though all his behavior is too obvious that every grown-ups can easily differentiate. However, maybe because of brother's action, the mother stand more at the younger one's side, and she tried to maintain the peace between children by threatening, such as won't take they to zoo again or stand until get off the MRT. I did not know the final result who the winner is, but it makes me want to guess if the same situation happened at my family what are our reactions. Was I as mean as the older brother when I was so young? No comment!
