Tory Boy is a menace to his little brother. You saw his birthday card yesterday:
But he loves Spud very much. He arranged his leave so that he would be here for his brother’s birthday. He bought him an expensive PS3 game. And he baked him a cake. He baked it from scratch and iced it to look like one of Spud’s favourite games:
You don’t get much more loving than that.
And then he locked Spud in the loft.

They are lavish to each other, I am happy to say; when they are not being mercilessly tormenting.

Whatever made him do that?? Was the loft lock-up part of a game or inspired by the PS3?

No; he just enjoys tormenting his brother and knows an opportunity when he sees one 🙂

What is it in each one of us that likes to torment those we love the most? What is the trigger ?

The penmanship on the cake is quite remarkable. The devilish look Tory Boy has in the first picture plus the resigned expression on Spud’s face says it all. You have brought mini you and mini Hub into the world. 🙂

Doesn’t it feel wonderful to know that they truly care for each other? Mine are married adults, now, but when they travel across the country to visit and spend time with each other, it just warms my heart.

It really does. When we are gone, they will only have each other and we worked hard to ensure they know that.
