"Sparring" implies a certain level of expertise that two boys climbing on top of each other and punching each other in the face just doesn't really equate to. "Fighting" definitely seems more appropriate even if a teacher watching over then wouldn't use that word when describing it to a parent. But, we as the viewer, know exactly what's going on. Also the definition of spar doesn't seem to fit that either.

About "sons." While we know Stan has a brother (because yes that would be Dip's and Mabel grandfather) the facts are we don't have a direct reference to that son. We don't know how GGP treated that son. You're probably right! I agree that's how he probably treated the twins' grandad too, but there's no canonical facts supporting it. For all we know GGP was very loving and mushy with the unmentioned son, that's why I removed all mention of it.

History - It's Stan's willingness to fight that GGP approved of, since we know that's why Stan was harsh on Dipper. It's not a matter of how strong he is, but a matter of standing up for himself. A very key difference. I suppose I also changed the wording to be more direct.

Also, you're totally not stepping on toes. I appreciate your contributions and I'm glad you decided to ask me about the changes. If there's anything you wanna discuss you're totally free to do so. :)
