Trigger warning: I'm going to use the phrase "Harvard Law School" multiple times in this rant about my brothers. My older lawyer brother (OLBro) will tell you one of two things within the first paragraph of family-get-togethers: how much his currently hourly rate bills at; or, something about "Harvard Law School," perhaps that "he attended." Just an absolute pompous asshat — bulldog, as per usual. My younger lawyer brother (YLBro) talks about all the good things he's done with his wife/family, how a recent action he took helped countless such-and-such... and it's always a rewarding pleasure to see him at gatherings. ---- So this one particular Thanksgiving, OLBro and YLBro are heatedly "discussing" some controversial court action - while The Rest of Us eat on listening, bemused; we all know that OLBro(Harvard Law School alumni) is WRONG, and he is just "adding rope" to his own legal misunderstanding/lie/POV. OLBro (clearly in-the-wrong): "So, YLBro... which law school did you attend?!" YLBro (absolutely correct): "UT La..." OLBro (louder voice; we're eating family holiday dinner): "So NOT HARVARD, then?!" Then I laughed in his face, and The Rest of Us all chuckled and changed subject. ThatHappened.gif
