#DON'T however think about how both are crying their eyes out when Alex outgrows the stuff

[ray935sworld]

One thing I was thinking about is how the things the older sibliing outgrew are often given to the younger sibling.

Now think about that with the Marquez brother's in the context of racing gear and bikes when they were kids. Helmet, gear, bikes are pretty expensive but kids grow quiekly.

So imagine Marc outgrowing his favorite helmet. No matter how hard he tries, his head doesn't fit anymore. Or he has become to tall for his first bike. Or he joined a bigger category and he can't use his old one anymore. He is a child with an emotional attachement so it might be really hard for him to give this stuff up, especially since racing is his passion.

But then he sees his beloved little brother wear it. He sees Alex in his favorite helmet, in the gear he felt the most comfortable in, riding the mini bike that bought him so much joy. He sees is big grin. And suddenly he is happy they don't fit him anymore because now Alex can experience the fun it bought him.

He'd give up anything to keep his baby brother safe
