Hooray, sibling rivalry!

So today Josh(my 9-year-old brother) ran into the house from outside, crying and claiming that Aidan(my 12-year-old) hit him on the head with a tennis racket. Mom went outside and asked if it happened. Aidan admitted that he did, but tried to justify his actions by saying that Josh had called him names. Mom then went back inside and grilled Josh, who also admitted that he had done so, but tried to justify his actions by giving something else Aidan had done to him. Mom eventually stopped listening to their excuses and grounded them both for the day.

I swear, this kind of thing wouldn't happen if they both tried to get along. It's barely 3 weeks into summer vacation and they're already starting to hurt each other.
