Conflict

Yesterday, I failed to mention that we do have discourse on occasion. In the past, it has been in the form of the following:

Mommy: "Will, no feet on the seat"
Claire: "Will, no feet on the SEAT!"
Will: "No say that!"
Claire: "NO FEET ON THE SEAT!!"
Will: "NO SAY THAT, CLAIRE!!"

Anyway, that one hasn't happened for a while, but yesterday in the car, there was a slightly heated discussion of whether Will was pretty or handsome. Claire insisted the he was handsome, but Will was POSITIVE that he was pretty. That went on for about 3 minutes.

This morning, there was a small discussion over who got the Bird Bird fork. This fork is part of a free set I got for ordering Parenting magazine. Unfortunately, the people at Parenting don't really understand twins (also in their articles!), so there was no opportunity for a second set. At least there are TWO utensils, so we trade off having the fork every day. Yesterday Claire had the fork, so today she got the spoon and he got the fork. She wasn't happy with that, so I called on my old friend Mick Jagger for some help and burst into a chorus of "You can't always get what you want", which appeased them and allowed me to continue my perky mood with a song :)
