the trick was to challenge the kid to a rematch, but make a big show of shoving a huge amount of spinach into your mouth and chomping on it before squaring up. Make him believe the Popeye myths.
I did this with my son, let him kick my ass in an arm wrestle then I gave him the glory, little fella was so chuffed it was awesome.
I gave him a ‘real’ arm wrestle a year something later and he said “you let me win before didn’t you?” 😂
“No. I’ve been working out every day in preparation for this rematch.”
Oh that’s a great one! I wished I had of thought of that.
The correct answer is telling your asshole relatives that they need to do a match with the mini-goliath themselves if they think they’re so tough. Then they either have to play along with the bit or else they’re the asshole who hurt a child’s feelings. (Spoilers if they’re like my family: they will, but then you and the lil bro can bond over that shared trauma. Ah, family!)
Yeah, the “gives me shit and makes fun of me for being weaker” could be either anon being too dense to realize it was a joke (perhaps mean spirited), or the family being shit. Given that anon then beats lil bro, sounds more like the former.
No rematcg? You’re a better fighter, he’s still stronger than you at arm wrestling.
It’s even worse in chess.
Yep they are, just stalemate next time and if you start losing slowly win the arm wresel
Rematch with the other arm.
