4. Write a blog post inspired by the word: won
I said, “My ultimate goal is to outlive all of you.”
And my sister was all, “What? Why in the world would you want to do that? Can you even imagine having to watch all of your siblings suffer and then be the last one living? Why would you want to do that!?!”
And I was all, “Because. Then I win…at Life!”
And we both laughed because winning at life as the last sibling standing might be taking that competitive rivalry a little too far.
You might have beat me at soccer and baking and cleaning and high school’s most popular. You might win at H-O-R-S-E on the basketball court and you might hit the ball harder across the volleyball net. You might have beat me at Dr. Mario and maybe you’re a better driver. You win at gaining “Mom’s trust”, you win in a foot race, you win in a swimming match, you win the better grades…
But I will win…at LIFE!
So what if it’s a life lived as a giant loser, I’M STILL LIVING!
The ultimate winner.
And if you happen to be looking back at this blog post and I happen to have died before one or all of you, just know that I’m pretty pissed about losing AGAIN. I am now committed to flipping your lights on and off until you join me in heaven because if I can’t beat you at anything than I can at least feel good about scaring the crap out of you for the rest of your life.
I’m pretty sure that means I still won right?

Well, seeing as I’m an only child, I automatically win! Guess I need to start this battle with my husband instead!
Mama Kat says
You were born a winner!!
Emily says
Seriously, you’ll have plenty of children and grandchildren around so you will never be lonely. It’s a win-win!
Mama Kat says
Exactly…and I’ll have the Internet. The Internet is my family now. ;)

So I thought my family was competitive (we can no longer play Monopoly because it is a bloodbath), but you took it to a new level!

I love your sense of humor and looking at life in a fun and light-hearted way. The pictures made me smile. Oh, and I especially love you holding on to the American flag. So cute! Now I’m all in the patriotic spirit. Just in time for the 4th of July.

Sorry, I somehow posted twice! I don’t know how to fix it …
My brother is very very competitive … I wonder if he has thought of trying to outlive me just to win?
Love your pics – especially the flag one!

I kinda hate to point this out, but… they beat you at facial hair too. Well, most of them do. Good luck!
