Jo looked up and Jo looked down, then said slowly, with sudden color in her cheeks. "It may be vain and wrong to say it, but I'm afraid Laurie is getting too fond of me."
"Then you don't care for him in the way it is evident he begins to care for you?' And Mrs. March looked anxious as she put the question.
"Mercy, no! I love the dear boy, as I always have, and am immensely proud of him, but as for anything more, it's out of the question."
"I'm glad of that, Jo."
"Why, please?"
"Because, dear, I don't think you suited to one another. As friends you are very happy, and your frequent quarrels soon blow over, but I fear you would both rebel if you were mated for life. You are too much alike and too fond of freedom, not to mention hot tempers and strong wills, to get on happily together, in a relation which needs infinite patience and forbearance, as well as love."
Louisa May Alcott, Good Wives

A real incident I witnessed amongst my roommates
The wrestling was legit and yes, one did lift the other all the way off the ground to stop them from putting their whole arm into scalding steam. Unfortunately for them, the buns were cold by the time they stopped trying to one up each other lol
Leo, for all that he might have the braincell occasionally, is absolutely dumbass enough to throw that out the window when faced with a perceived challenge. He’s drank tea straight after it’s boiled, “careful it’s hot” is a slight against his reputation! (which is nonexistent. His brothers worry for his taste buds)
