Once Paul became mobile, Kevin joked that since we'd called Andrew "Napoleon" for several years, it was only fitting that Paul had to be Hitler. In a non-Holocaust sort of way. Because Paul was slowly seizing territories from Andrew. Only problem with this little ditty is that Andrew has never adhered nor embraced the policy of appeasement so naively adopted by France and Britain pre-1939.
And four years later, the poor original General is still stumbling over the fact that "share with your brother" is supposed to be a way of life, not a momentary relapse. And that privacy? Is not possible in the common arena of the living room - you cannot request and expect to be granted "time to play by myself" in the living room.
Not that I'm supposed to bet on my kids, but my money's on Paul. He will wear his brother down, in one fashion or another.
So, Hitler that wears down Napoleon is what I am looking forward to next year...I will have to think about that. Is he a sharpie too?
