The Milky Way War

My girls were arguing about the last Milky Way the other day. I united them in the best your-mom-is-the-boss-kind-of-way. I split the Milky Way bar in half, and acted like I was going to give them both a piece. Then I swiftly pushed the candy into my mouth, and chewed it up with my own sweet loving teeth. Now my darling girls are angry, and mad as hops at their mean old mom, who took their candy. Which has united them in such a way, it's going to be a much better day, right, Randy?

My children know one thing; they can expect the unexpected. I cannot believe this worked but it did.

By the hook or the crook, you united them... until the next milky way...

Usually by crook, and they both know better, they have a very crafty, sneaky, mother. Tattling is another thing I cannot abide; that means two seats in two corners.

Well, a fellow can dream, can't he?...One other thought here. Esp. in family matters, "Truth" may want to step aside for "Peace," in order to preserve the latter. ~ Mr. Dare to Dream Again :)

And share the Milky Way Bar I got fair and square? Have you met me, Mr. I? I am aggressive.

Ha ha, Caren. "Problem, girls?" *gobble-gobble* "Mm-m, good!" ...problem solved. LOL When there's a need for a mediator, the mediator must solve an issue that two sides can't. I'd say, you solved it in a 'taste-full' way! :) ~ Artsie xx

They won't play board games with me either, because if I lose they all know I'll throw the board.
