Tag Team

My kids act like they want to rip each other's hair out most of the time. But, there is one instance when they are the closest, happiest, most loving sisters ever - when they are teaming up on me! It usually starts with the older one. She gets sassy or does something she knows is wrong and then convinces the little one to join in. There's usually some type of conference - a whisper, a knowing look, a nudge - and then they attack. The two-on-one method seems to work for these girls and it makes them giddy with power. They love to hide in a bedroom and have one come out, do something silly, and then run back to report her victory to her teammate. I hate to stop them, because this is when they are acting like real sisters. But, more often than not, it ends up bad. There's a fight. Someone gets in trouble. It gets out of hand. They need to learn when their time in the ring is up!
