Are you a "proper cousin?"

Yesterday was a trying day for Mark. We returned from Idaho to a house still full of cousins. Mark decided he had reached his breaking point. He was refusing to share his trains. Now when I say refusing to share, it means not only could you not touch his trains, you could not look at them or even think about looking at them. Grandma was trying to help Mark understand the concept of sharing. She told Mark that if he could not share his trains and get along, nobody, including Mark, would be allowed to play with the trains. To which Mark replied to his room full of cousins:

"Proper cousins don't play with their cousin's trains. I am calling for all proper cousins."

I think he missed the point.

Um, Mark is pretty weird...I like how fast he runs when he thinks someone is in the vicinity of his trains though.

Just when I think he's said the most hilarious thing ever, he comes up with something else!
