My brother and I had an email exchange this week. The point - how best to help our dad, Opa, deal with his increasing deafness - quickly devolved into the one-up-manship that has long defined our relationship.
My brother thinks we should get Oma and Opa a laptop, so Oma can type to Opa. This is a bad idea; they are no good with technology, and a white board would do the same thing. I wrote as much.

To which he replied:
Sorry --

it to me?
