another reason to love boys (from the Justin Morneau chapter)

Justin has one brother (Geordie - great name, huh?). He's a year and a half older. They shared a room downstairs.

"Down in the basement...one of us would start busting on the other, and pretty soon we had a fight going. We were getting pretty big, but the floor was a concrete slab with a thin carpet, so we couldn't do too much damage. I guess we were really noisy, though. We knew Mom had had enough when she opened the door at the top of the stairs and started flicking the light switch on and off. When I was getting beat up, I prayed for the light to flick. Of course, Geordie and I could still see each other between flicks, so we just kept fighting. Mom would eventually get tired of it, so she would just leave the switch off, and that would usually end it."
