Your mind reading abilities leave much to be desired.
I'm sorry you missed the comparison between two different family members, but that hardly means that I didn't make the compariosn. Are you fimilair with the concept of perception and conclusion? You read something, you give it context based on experience, then you draw a conclusion. Somewhere in there, probably in the experience thing as you might not have much experience with using or percieving similes, there was a simple mistake. No harm done.

My next door neighbor is closer to me than the person 2 doors down, but they are both neighbors, and are definately in my neighborhood. My half sibling is closer to me than my cousin, but they are both close relatives and they definately include some of the same genetics.

So to review: you misread my post, I correct you, then you call me 'kid' in a clearly condescending manner. You're quite the charmer.
