Thanks, cym! I guess every kid has to come to the realization that they are not #1 at everything. For some it just comes sooner than others...

A side note re attitude adjustments: the other day I told DS to apologize to DD for accidently pinching her finger with a stool (I don't know *how* that happened, I wasn't in the room.) Anyway, DS said (in a voice like Jar-Jar), "Meesa say SO sorry!" DD burst out laughing. The pinch was forgotten. So what do you think? Is this too smart-alecky or is this a clever use of humor to relieve an awkward situation?
