Description:

This piece was inspired by an argument with a family member. This confrontation lasted hours with neither side giving in, both with righteousness on their side. I have always thought the colloquialism of the “pissing contest” was a hilarious visualization. Here I use humor to deal with the harsh realities of a personal experience. I invite anyone to step up into the role of the competitor but be ready to have you side of the story in the spot light.
