Creative Arguing By a Couple of Tooty Dumbo's



When my kids argue, it often manifests in the form of notes. This particular one I found especially amusing. They were arguing about who had to clean the kitchen, and who had to clean the dining room for their chore. Classic example of "you can't con a con man." Here is the translation in case it's not readable:
"Hey Brooke, I have a great idea! How about I get the dining room and you get the kitchen. I think you will love doing it. I hope you have fun doing the kitchen. Love, Janelle Bevans
P.S. Write me back on your paper."
"No way! If you think it's soo fun, why don't you have it?"
"Dear Brooke, I'm trying to be nice to you so you can have the better job. If you don't want me to be nice then you're going to have to deal with it because that's my personality."
"Yah, right. You call that nice?"
"Of course I do. [heart], Janelle"
"Well then you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dumb."
[and Janelle, giving up on the nice guy routine]:
"Right back at you, tooty dumbo! Janelle"

That is hilarious! I like how you have them arguing on paper - I bet it cuts down on the yelling. I think I'll try that with my older kids.
