David (holding the baby in his arms and crooning): Sylvie! Sylvie! You have the longest eyelashes in the world! Yes you do, baby girl. Yes, yes, you do...
Luke (sitting across the room on the sofa, looking disgruntled): No, I have the longest eyelashes in the world.
David (glances at Luke): Oh, sorry. (turns back to the baby, crooning again): Sylvie, Sylvie! You have the second longest eyelashes in the world! Yes you do, baby girl. Oh yes you do!
Luke looks mollified.
And so the sibling rivalry begins. Over the relative lengths of eyelashes.
