The Bickering

I hate the bickering. I super-scheduled the kids in fun daycamps this summer because the bickering..OH, THE BICKERING!
It's everywhere we go. Part of everything we do.
Driving back from the grocery store I interrupted a squabble to ask,
"Does fighting make you happy?"
I got the answer in unison, "NOO!"
"Then why do you do it? Don't you want to be happy?"
Charlie: "But I'm right!"
Me: "So what? Let it go sometimes for the sake of peace and happiness!"
Charlie: "Being right makes me happy."
(she can't help it..it's in her DNA.)

So the bickering continues....

I knew some kids who used to stop when the car was pulled over so they could punch each other out on the side of the road. But, uh, yeah...
