The childhood teeter-totter wars between Rob and Doug Ford, as recollected by Doug:<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n To this day, he never’s beat me. I always dominated Rob on the teeter-totter. Sometimes my mother would ask me to ease up, to let him win one, but I wouldn\u2019t. That\u2019s not the way life works. You gotta suck it up and be tough, and when it\u2019s time to go to rehab, you go to rehab, that\u2019s what it is to be a man. I never gave him a win and I like to think that\u2019s part of what made him the man he is today.<\/p>\n 1. Although it doesn\u2019t look like it, I\u2019m nearly 5 years older than Rob, so when we were young I used to command him with my size and strength. I\u2019m a very powerful man. I used to do the shot put in high school.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n You might think that\u2019s all about arm strength, but it\u2019s not, it\u2019s core and leg strength, which are a couple of my natural gifts. Anyway, so little Robbie would be on his end, and try as he might, he couldn\u2019t lift me off the ground. His face would be red and he\u2019d be kicking his legs swearing, and then I\u2019d just step off the teeter-totter and the little bastard would break his ass on the ground at a million miles an hour! It was awesome, and it never failed, just like with Lucy getting Charlie Brown to kick the football.<\/p>\n
