Fighting Over Bacon!

I will fight you to the end, sibling!

OK, now I’ve heard it all! My kids were in a vicious fight over who gets the last piece of bacon. OMG! This of course happens while the TV is blaring, the bus is coming and Smart Border Collie is just waiting for that one last hunk of bacon to hit the floor. My kids get the equivalent of an IHOP breakfast every morning, pancakes, eggs, bacon, cereal, fruit and bagels, and they are both as skinny as a willow tree. Really, by the time they are done and gone it looks like I had the entire family over here to eat.

But I think fighting over bacon takes the cake. They wrestle over things that I would never give a second thought to.  Like who gets to sit next to Mom when we have dinner out.  Who gets to push the elevator button at the doctor’s office. Channel Chick always pulls rank on Rocket Boy because she says she was born first. Listen up kids, I was there too, and whoever they pulled out first was just fine with me, just get this performance over with!

I Heart You Bacon!

From that day forward it’s been a fierce competition between one boy and one girl. Since they are in the same grade, not classroom, in the same school, I get different stories from each of them. One sees it this way and one sees it that way. They always have the yardstick out measuring how much attention I pay to one kid over the other. They may even have the same homework or school project, but they both have separate ways of getting to the finish line.

What will the battle be about today? Hmmm, I hope it’s over who gets to serve Mom breakfast in bed! LOL.
