A Moment of Realization...

My children, for the life of them, cannot be in the same room, or occupy the same airspace, without eventually resorting to a sibling face-off of poking, pushing, prompting, provoking, talking-to, taunting, tickling, teasing, touching, testing, torturing, meddling, mind-playing, mocking, manipulating, complaining, copying, coercing, crying-about, calling names, laughing at, lying to, fighting, debating, arguing, accusing, blaming, and/or wrestling, which basically drives me completely and utterly insane.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! i often wonder where my children get their "potty talk" from. then jake walks through the room, farts, and laughs hysterically. he then keeps on walking and says "good one huh kids!" i just close my eyes and shake my head. i also pray for their social place in this world as adults....
