A quick departure into the past…when my twins were in third grade, as I was picking them up after school.
*slamming the car door*
Xavier: “We need to have a talk with you, mother.”
Me: “Um…okay.”
Liam: “Yeah…you know when you make us compete to see who can clean the bathroom better, and whoever wins gets the bigger half of the dessert?”
Me: “Ummm…yeah?”
Xavier: “Well, today in math, we learned there is NO SUCH THING AS A BIGGER HALF!”
Me: *giggling*
Liam: “IT’S NOT FUNNY!”
Fisticuffs and Shenanigans 
Oh man. That is so cute.
I’m surprised they didn’t garrot me in my car, actually. Lol
That’s priceless!
Math…always a winner. Lol
Oh lord… poor kids. But I figure they’ll come out ahead, with a sense of humour and all. Math reeks.
True. Although, after two years of arguing the point, they settle on rolling their eyes at me when I use the “bigger half”. Of course…they’d probably roll their eyes no matter what I said. Sigh… 🙂
My kids are the same, Meg. But I haven’t used “bigger half” on them yet, so I think I’m going to try and sneak that in.
It has a limited life expectancy…start immediately.
Hahaha. Yes, that is funny. Funny ’cause it isn’t me!
Lol…I’ll gladly take the mommy-bullet on this one.
