The past month has given Ian and I a glimpse into our not-too-distant future. Lindy and Ellie have been constantly at each others' throats. I've decided that when the teenage years settle in on our family we are just going to have to get a much bigger house and put those two as far away from each other as possible. (Sigh!)
Today was an especially tough day. Somewhere in the early afternoon, preceding a long and boring lecture about sisterly love, I announced loud and clear that "I have had ENOUGH of this!" and that "There will be NO MORE ARGUING OR YELLING!" (Try helping a 3 and 6 year old overlook the irony of the fact that I yelled this. Hmmm.)
The next couple hours were spent in relative peace. I figured my lecturing must have helped them overlook their differences and get along.
I was wrong:
Taped to the headboard of Ellie's bed was this angry face. At least she tried to make her point without causing me any additional headaches. Right?...Right?
