Help with engraving on an iPod, and help insure that a sibling rivalry continues.

My sister and I have always had a rivalry- who doesn’t. We are no longer at each others thoughts, but we once were. It's all jokes now. My parents will be helping me with an iPod purchase, and suggested that I get it engraved with something funny.

To further sibling rivalry (and to continue a yearly tradition), I thought I would get it engraved with something like.

For John,
Our Favorite Child.


or

John
We love you best.


or
We love you most.
Don't tell Jane


Any other suggestions?

Note: My sister and I joke about this yearly, so no feelings will be hurt.

[EDIT] Oops, I meant to post this in the iPod forum.

Please post in the Community Discussion next time

:p :D

Tough call. I originally started the thead in perifferials, not knowing that there was an iPod area. I wasn't quite sure- this is iPod discussion. - Mistake made- oh well.

Heh, I'm just playing.

Either way, it's kind of an odd question. Sort of like asking, "What should I get my sister for Christmas this year? Last year I got her candles and I was thinking of getting her the same again this year, but I'm not sure if she likes them. Maybe the latest Josh Grobin CD?" :p

"Dear John, please ensure you insure this iPod and we assure you that you are our favourite child."

Any of the ones that you mentioned would be awesome... I wish the sibling rivalry between me and my brother was like that. If I did that, my brother would be like so... we knew that already.

Haha, I was just searching for some inspiration for engraving my own ipod and I found this thread.

If you really like crossing the line -- as I do, take it a couple steps farther:

"Don't tell Jane she was adopted."

I thought of a couple much worse but I think I'd get banned for posting them :)

Give it time. It takes 10 years of living away from each other to gain perspective (and it's not like is true). My sister almost always greets me on the phone with, "Mom and dad like me best- neener." She's 30. We're cool with it, though she still has grudges. She still is pissed off that I went off to UCD to stud biochem (never graduated), while she was stuck in high school.

- Brilliant

It reads
"John-We love you most!"
"P.S. Jane is adopted."

[Edit- allmost misspelled adopted.]
