Birth Order

We are out delivering eggs this evening and this is a conversation that transpires . . .
You see, I think the only reason Morgan goes to the door with Jarod to deliver the eggs, is simply to race him back to the truck. It would be interesting to see how many hand print dents I have in the side of my truck.
About 99% of the time Jarod wins.
When Jarod wins Morgan usually says "It was a tie!"
On the occasion Morgan wins Jarod says "It was a tie!" How could he let his little sister actually beat him.
Lately, on a few races, I have decided to inform them of who wins. Sometimes it's very obvious and they still call it a tie.
Well, tonight, on one particular race, I informed Morgan that Jarod did win. I explained, I knew because of the sound each one of them made.
Morgan than proceeds to say . . . "I wish I was the first baby."
Jarod, a little confused, says "You mean, you wish you were the first one born?"
Morgan: "Yes"
Jarod: "Why?"
Morgan: "So, I could run faster than you and win"
