The Topper
Some people love to top, they can’t be the underdog-ever. My daughter has a friend that is a topper, she’s only 11 so she may not know it yet but she will soon find out, she’s a topper. She recently came over and noticed my daughter had gotten a new bed, it’s a queen size and she shares it with her sister. The friend says. “my bed is way bigger than this, mine’s two twins pushed together.” Now, if I am not mistaken, two twins pushed together either makes a double, or at most makes a queen, but no bigger than a queen. The kid goes into my room and looks at my king size bed and says that hers is bigger than that too.
We have been topped by this girl with our 54″ big screen, her parents have that big of a tv in their bedroom apparently she says and their living room tv is just plain bigger than that. She’s topped our vacation last year, we went to a local fun spot in Washington called great Wolf Lodge, we had a blast. We came home and told the topper and she quickly pointed out that her family went to Hawaii, and Florida for vacation that year and that they would be going back to Hawaii in a couple of weeks.
We were topped by her on the 4th of July, we went to the local Indian Reservation and purchased a nice layout of sparks, she came running down the road as ours were going off and said that her and her dad were going to make a last minute trip to the rez also cause so far they had only safe and sane stuff from the local grocery store. They came back with some big guns. It was a great show, we enjoyed their works but our still took the cake according to our standards.
We really like the little girl, don’t get me wrong, we take her everywhere with us, she’s my daughter’s best frined in the neighborhood. It’s just that the topping can get a little much at times.

That’s nothing! I had a friend who was a topper, in fact two friends that were toppers. That’s one more than you have. They always claimed to be better at golf than me. So, we went golfing a couple times and they were equal to or not as good as me, depending on how many beers they drank. But they were not better than me.
In fact, I was better than they were at golf and I had newer clubs. Plus my wife was prettier than their wives! Plus, I didn’t have to lie to my wife about where I was going when we went golfing or to a strip club like they did.
I purchased a new car a few years back and they both bought new cars shortly thereafter.
Don’t you just hate toppers?

Toppers follow you from childhood through adulthood. I’ve even had friends die before me just so they could say they did.
