You know… I wish I could say his older brother would handle everything this well, but unfortunately I can’t. K1 has had the same roommate for the last three years and they have this real love/hate- can’t live with you-can’t live without you thing going. When something happens between these two, we automatically side with the roommate. We know K1 too well. (He’s won “Last Person I’d Want To Be Stuck In A Lifeboat With” ten years running) Once, I took these two out to dinner and their bickering reminded me of a bitter old married couple. Finally, I had to tell them to knock it off. It wasn’t worth The Points (on the credit card). Still… it’s been quite a sight watching them reunite at the beginning of each year and there are days I wonder how they’ll survive without each other next year when they go away to different schools…

patronyork- I definitely want to read that! Thanks for the recommendation!
