Twins are Not Always Equal

We totalled up the summer hockey stats, and the twins both led the team scoring 8 goals a piece (three tournaments=15 games).  I love when it equals out!  Even in golf, they alternate winning 1st place every other year.  But this year, the golf bracket was kept all season long.  We didn't enter all the events, so Winger finished one-half-point ahead of Polar Bear.  Meaning only one boy got into the play-offs today, and the other stayed home.  They tried to pretend it didn't matter.  But there were suspicious scores that placed other boys in the play-off, so I have hurt feelings about the whole mess.  Not that it has to be equal fair EVERY time.  I tried to comfort them by saying: "You can tell about a man's character by the way he keeps his golf score."  Polar Bear just kept his head buried in a video game for two hours, but he held a stiff upper lip and attended the awards ceremony afterwards.  Later, our twins sat together on the couch looking at new hockey sticks on the internet with their heads only 6 inches apart.  Captain noted how they needed to be together again.  Very poignant!
