Five things our children have argued about vehemently in the last week.
1. Whether you EAT water or DRINK water,
2. Which of them can swing higher,
3. Who sings a better version of "Sleep the Clock Around": Belle & Sebastian or Mates of State,
4. Whether 2 + 2 equals 4 or 7,
5. Whether we should listen to Cat Power or Cheap Trick in the automobile,
6. Whether or not you can taste air,
7. Whether or not we should get a pet rattlesnake,
8. Who is older,
9. Whether or not Hulk could make his pee look purple,
and
10. Whether or not their Mom and Dad are weird.
THINGS THEY HAVE UNANIMOUSLY AGREED ON:
1. Camping is better than just about anything,
2. Bob Dylan is better than Leonard Cohen,
and
3. Cheap Trick's "Surrender" is the greatest song ever.
SAMPLE FROM CHORUS:
"Mommy's alright / Daddy's alright / They just seem a little weird"
Of course not.
Goodnight everyone.
"I am VERY good at basketball,"
as she flippantly tossed the ball toward the hoop six feet away, where she pulled off the stunning feat of missing by approximately seven meters.
