“Well, it all kind of started out with a simple 2v2 dynamic. It was the youngest two versus the oldest and the middle two would bash heads every second. Joe and I are the middle children. We hated each other with a distinct passion. We would argue, fight, wrestle—I was kind of just getting beat up though. Anyway, that dynamic sort of changed when I entered high school. Over time I think it was because Joe and I fought so much that we became best friends. After I started high school, we just started to laugh. I think what finally bonded us was humor. We found that our senses of humor are very similar, and we became good friends through it. I am even the best man at his wedding in a few weeks. Don’t tell him this is online but we’re ‘giggle buddies.’ To my youngest brother, it started off good because we played a lot of pretend and don’t get me wrong, all four of us played and had fun together but the difference in age, although not all that significant, still played a major role in our dynamic. It led to me and Lincoln being closer and Joe and Dom (oldest) being closer. My relationship with Lincoln has gotten better recently, and I assume it will continue to, but I think ever since that bond of creativity sort of passed—we haven’t been as close. My oldest brother and I have never been super close, but we bond over dumb hobbies once in a while. We play disc golf and we get energy drinks—things like that. Overall, I would say that we drifted apart as we got older but more so because our lives became busier. It has always been nice to have 4 kids to play games, and us all being guys meant it would get rough. I think all of our relationships have overall deepened over time, but in most cases we just don’t talk as often,” Sr. Alex Overway said.
