Yes, there are enough super-duper annoying kid habits to write volumes! The wranglers have tried various methods to drive me to the asylum, all carefully calculated. Trying to outscream one another has been very popular this week. So has stomping, growling, and an all-time favorite of mine, bickering!
Let’s take for example, “singing in the car,” for aggravation purposes, only! This is not your typical practicing for the choir routine, these are snippets of phrases made up just to infuriate a sibling. This time it was, “Mc-Don-Ald’s, over and over, until Channel Chick lost it. Score one for Rocket Boy!
Or how about when Mom suggests that we grab some lunch? That one question catapulted them into at least a 2 mile argument, and just over a Subway sandwich! They can’t even agree on food! Or how about when you’re sitting at a stoplight and you feel the car rocking back and forth? I’m just sayin’, what’s that all about, temper? Wait are you two going on three, or ten going on eleven, or is that exactly the same?
Let’s talk about a tween fit that goes from zero to sixty in just seconds, geez Louise, looking for some answers here. I’ve warned them about their impending space travel if the bickering doesn’t stop and how me and my astronomer buddies can arrange to have both of them rocketed into any orbit of my choosing. They just look at me and laugh like hyenas. What’s a Mom to do?
Well I guess that would be up to me to figure out. In the meantime, there’s always some mind numbing cold liquids to pour into those nice German mugs The Scientist brought home from the, “let’s meet in the beer tent conference,” along with some super-duper Army issue earplugs!
Are we OK with that?
And this is me after hair and makeup! |
Sibling Love! |
