A perfect relationship
I am very fond of my brother and sister-in-law. I have laughed and shared a whole lot with them without any reservation. I admire their open relationship. They would discuss issues, argue over it and settle it then in there, in the family setting, in friends’ company or in official meetings.
One day as I was entering their house they were arguing over an issue very strongly. I suggested a solution; my brother immediately accepted it. My sister-in-law got so upset that she quickly blurted out, “You always agree if your sister suggests”.
My brother immediately said, “I agree with whoever is most loved”.
For a second I was so happy, but knowing my brother’s inability to express such mushy sentiments and our family trait of talking loudly, I understood that he meant ‘whoever is most loud’. All of us burst out laughing and the volatile situation was diffused.
Today I remember this incidence and wonder - did he really say ‘loved’.
