er Christmas, I was declared the loser of the egg sandwich contest my brother, Sam, and I competed in. Did it hurt knowing Sam is better at making an egg sandwich than I am? No. Did I act like it did? Yes.
The day before I was being a loud mouth braggart when discussing my egg sandwiches. As I told mystic tales of the mouth-watering beasts, Sam gazed upon me with boredom. I asked, "What? You think you make better?"
With a slop-eating grin, Sam simply replied, "Yep."
I decided to challenge him to a duel. Since he thought his sandwiches were far superior to mine, I told him we might as well let our family decide. He agreed the challenge was necessary and told me Saturday would be the perfect day for the contestA bit before 9:15 a.m. the day after Christmas, I was declared the loser of the egg sandwich contest my brother, Sam, and I competed in.
