I am not really sure when it started, but we have become quite the competitive family. Maybe we always were and I just didn't notice. Eric and I are even passing it on to our girls. I use it as an incentive to get Emily to move a little faster - you know how slow a five year old can be at times. All I have to say is, "I'm gonna win...." and she's running across the room to beat me up the stairs, or to the car, or where ever.
Eric and I have competed with our Nintendo DS game, Brainage. We played each other for weeks just trying to beat each other by getting the younger age. I haven't played in awhile, but I think he still holds the record - yes, I can admit that.....but I may just pick it up again later today and play until I beat him. It probably won't take long. :)
The newest competition is my most favorite - who's getting better faster. It all started last Friday when we both came down with a cold at the same time. I don't know why, but I started to get better faster than my husband. He was pretty peeved about it. So peeved that he, the man who really isn't into taking pills, started a pretty good regimen of pill popping. We are both feeling much better today - but I still think I have the edge. He was smiling last night as I went into a coughing fit for about 30 minutes. Nice. He then decided that HE was the one who was getting better sooner. Now every sneeze, little cough, nose blow that I do is being noted in his head - I should have a final tally later today.
All I have to say is.....he's blowing his nose right now and I'm not....you decide.

Based on Eric's ideas on the sources of carbon dioxide, you should be able to school him at the BrainAge game!!
