Brothers can be real mean.

I always thought that brothers could be ruthless. I just didn't realize how young it starts. James has been a pain before like pinching, hitting, kicking and so on. Last week he did something absolute terrible to Emily. I don't even remember any of my brothers doing it.
Ben and I were in the kitchen making lunch. We told the kids to stop squealing. It wasn't long after they stopped that we hear this high pitch scream. Ben runs upstairs to find out what the problem is. Next I hear the bath running, then Emily comes down with tears on her cheeks. I asked her what happened and she said "James peed on me!" yes you read it right. James peed on his sister. James tried to tell Ben that it was an accident, but his pants and underwear were still dry. When Ben came downstairs he told me that James had soaked Emily's dress, her two quilts on her bed and even got some in her hair.
James was sent to his room after Ben talked with him. I talked with him after his time was up. I asked him why he did it. His reply "I was bored".
James is very protective of Emily when others are around, but he's ruthless at times.
According to my mum my brothers didn't do that. Or at least to her knowledge they didn't. I know that my brothers were a pain, but I was a pain too. I'll even admit that when a certain brother got a certain look in his eyes I would sometimes just start screaming because I knew he would be ruthless in his teasing or his fun. My mum agreed that he was ruthless and once he had that look in his eyes nothing could stop him.

Does that sound like anything Ben or your other brothers would do? Is it definitly a mini-Ben?
