Dean is four years older. If the timeline is roughly concurrent to real life, Dean is 28 and Sam is 25.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Because books.
There are plenty of recappers who are funny along with being cranky and mean, though. And I can't fault the crankiness of people who had to watch Charmed as part of their job...
Probably. I just ... I can only get into gentle snark when I know someone loves the show like I do. Sort of like *I* can say my husband is lazy about leaving clothes on the floor, but you can't.
Not that, you know, you would say that. Um.

So much this.
If they would just drink the kool-aid, it all would be better.

What's interesting to me is that a four year age difference would have been a big deal when, say, Sam was five and Dean was eight or nine. For a lot of their childhood, Dean would have very much been the BIG brother, and not just the slightly older brother.

Exactly, Anne. Think about a twelve-year-old Sam looking up to a sixteen-year-old Dean. That's where your really going to see the whole big brother dynamic in play.
Here's some gentle snark: How many single-mom yoga instructors do you know who live in a house like that in a gated community?

I figure she inherited a bunch of money from her folks. (Hey, I can do the jazz-hands too.)
That or the absentee father pays a heck of a lot of child support.

I also think this must mean it was crazy hard for Dean when Sam went away. I don't know how he didn't talk to him for two years. Or four. Whatever.
Maybe that is why Dean hugged Jessica so tightly in WIAWNSB. He had been secretly watching out for/stalking Sam for all that time at college and Dean felt like he knew her.

Ah! Apparently I was out of handwavium.

I was dorky enough to Mapquest. Cicero is 20 some miles from Indianapolis. That kind of house might be slightly more affordable out this way than it would closer to a city on either coast.
Also, I wonder if the changeling!realtor somehow managed things to get new families with noshable moms in there. Single mothers would be easier hunting than those with partners. Yes, husbands and SOs could be dealt with, but that's just an extra bother.
