    Bickering is in full force in our house. Here are a couple screaming matches that I couldn't help laughing at:

    I asked Andrew what he dreamed about last night. "Fire trucks!"
    Ivy: "Don't want Andrew dreamed about fire trucks! Andrew dreamed about AMBULANCES!"
    Andrew: "Don't want Andrew dreamed about ambulances! Andrew dreamed about FIRE TRUCKS!"
    Ivy: "IVY dream about fire trucks!"
    Andrew: "ANDREW dream about fire trucks!"
    Me: "It's ok, you can both dream about fire trucks."
    A & I: [more fighting]

    And a recurrent one lately:

    Andrew: "Andrew is a boy."
    Ivy: "Andrew is NOT a boy. Andrew is a GIRL."
    Andrew: "Don't want Andrew is a girl! Andrew is a BOY!"
    Ivy: "Don't want Andrew is a boy! Andrew is a GIRL!"
    Andrew: "Andrew is a boy! Andrew has a penis!"
    Ivy: "Andrew does NOT have a penis! Andrew has a vagina!"
    Andrew: "Andrew don't has a vagina! Andrew has a penis!"
    Me: "Sorry Ivy, I'm afraid you're not quite right about this one..."
    A & I: [more fighting]
    Me: [more ignoring]


    Misery loves company - what are the hot "debate" topics in your house lately? :lol:

    :laughing: Aside from the boy-girl anatomy argument, you just typed up a transcript from my girls this morning.

    M: "I dreamed about Kittens."
    A: "No Mewa, I DREAMED ABOUT KITTENS!"
    M: "NO I DID ANA!"
    etc etc.

    Yesterday they had a full screaming match over absolutely nothing.
    M: "NO!"
    A: "Mewa you don't say NO! I SAY NO!"
    M: "NO! I SAY NO ANA!"
    to infinity...

    Seriously. Its nuts.

    I'm laughing, but I can only laugh because I'm not there yet. Mine have just mastered "No no no" while shaking their little fingers at us. We're on our way! Hilarious - it never occurred to me that my kids would argue over whether Jack is a boy! :)

    This one was the other day and had me cracking up lol.. We were on our way to daycare.

    Abbie - Harlie, I'm not talkin to you anymore

    Harlie - Yes you are, I'm your girl(when ever they get mad at me I always say thats ok your still my little girl) , I'm your friend.

    Abbie - NOOOOOOO, your not my friend, Jillian is my friend

    Harlie - NO Jillian is MY friend

    That went back and forth screaming for a few minutes until I reminded them they could BOTH be her friend...

    That's hysterical! I've never experienced anything like it, as Nadia had no one around to argue with. :D

    Can't wait (and CAN wait, really) to see what K&K come up with.

    Right now, Karina is in full-fledged parrot mode, and it's scary to hear what we must sound like. Last night, Kevan was having a tantrum, and Karina went up to him and said, "Pete's sake Keban! Just chill!"

    These are very funny.

    I love what this says about how you guys must talk to the kids. That's such a nice way of putting it. I'll try that with Maia next time she melts down.

    Our frequent arguement at present goes:
    Tal (or Maia): You're a baby
    Maia: I'm not a baby
    Tal: You're a baby
    etc
    Maia: Muuuuum, Tal say I'm a baby
    Me: And what can you say to that?
    Maia: No I'm not a baby

    Except one time recently when all I heard was the middle bit which went:
    Tal: Are
    Maia: I'm not
    Tal: You are
    etc
    Maia: Muuuuuum, Tal say I'm a MAN
    Me: And what do you say to that?
    Maia: I'm not a MAN, I don't pee standing up.

    Those are funny!

    Tyler and Derek had an arguement last night before bed where Tyler was copying all of Derek's animal sounds. Derek finally said "stop copying me Tyler!" Then Tyler said right back "stop copying me Derek!" :rolleyes:

    These are hysterical. Our arguments generally center around which these are for boys and which are for girls (not relevant what the item is). There is also lots of conversation/arguing about who can be Diego, Dora, Baby Jaguar, Boots, etc.

    This is making my blood pressure rise just thinking about it.

    I can't think of any great examples right now, but our big arguments right now are usually when one child has been having a fit, and is finally starting to calm down, and then her sister says something to her. It generally results in the fit starting right back up again, even if it was something friendly that her sister said -- the response is "NOOOO!!! I DON'T WANT YOU TO TALK TO ME!!!!" :catfight: It drives me nuts!

    Oh, I love reading these. The best arguement lately in our house was last night. I had explained to the girls that their dad was not going to be home before bedtime because he was working hard and would be late. This is what I heard through the door after I put the girls to bed:

    Cricket: Don't cry Piper. Daddy working hard.
    Piper: No Cricket, Daddy working LATE.
    Cricket: No, Mommy say Daddy working hard.
    Piper: NO! Mommy say Daddy working late.
    Cricket: Daddy NO working late. Daddy working hard.
    Piper. Stop talking Cricket. Go back bed.
    Cricket: I no talking. YOU go back bed.
    (and it continued...)

    My boys are always fighting over what they each see when we're in the car. They don't understand that they can both be looking at two totally different things, and it causes MAJOR arguments!

    Ben: I see a digger truck over there!
    Jake: Dat not a digger truck, dat a mixer truck.
    Ben: Don't say dat a mixer truck! I say it a digger truck!
    Jake: NOT a digger truck! Digger truck not be like dat!
    Ben: You saying rude words! You don't say not a digger truck! Dat's rude!

    Me: Boys, Ben sees a digger truck out his window, and Jake sees a mixer truck out his window. You are both right because you are both seeing different things.

    Ben: Don't talk Mommy. Dat's rude. I'm talking to Jake.
    Jake: Yeah Mommy. Don't be rude.

    absolutely hysterical becca....leave it to these guys to hold up the mirror in our faces, right?

    last night before falling asleep, i heard this:
    B:"ally, lie down"
    A:"no, bear, YOU lie down"
    (tone and volume escalate)
    B: no, bad BAD you lie down
    A: no no ally no bad, bear bad bad you lie down
    and so it went until they were both screaming and i had to tell them that they both needed to lie down, which they did and then went to sleep...

    but in general, ally will start to scold bear for doing anything that clearly doesn't affect her at all anyway, and it just goes downhill from there....and i can't help but smile (or make DH listen to it for a while) before i go in and law down the law. it seriously still makes me smile, though i'm not sure how long that will last LOL

    Oh yes, we also have who can be characters too. "No I'm Dora because I'm wearing shorts!" "But you don't have a bracelet!"
    We also have who can say something. "No that's just my thing to say! I wanted to say it!" :wacko:

    :rofl: That's priceless!!

    Mine make stuff up and then they say "welllllll, it was in my dream" so you can't call them on the fib or the story!! :lol: Pretty funny! Or one will tell their dream and the other one will have had the "same" dream but slightly different. I guess their imaginations are in FULL swing huh?!
