From Mommy: I've been really blessed. My boys have never been very competitive with one another. Until now. The other day I walked into the kitchen to see my sons debating heatedly. Solomon was irate and Malachi was bawling. A fight of this magnitude is uncommon in our household, and I was concerned,"What's going on, boys?"
"We were playing a game and the winner was supposed to get the prize! But Malachi took the prize even when he wasn't the winner!!" Solomon informed me, arms folded over his little, heaving chest.
"But I really wanted the prize! Solly took it away from me without asking first! I think I was the winner, and I want the prize!" Malachi choked out between sobs.
"Well, maybe you could both win the prize - do we have 2 of them? What's the prize?"
Solomon held out an open palm containing....nothing.
Confused, I asked, "Well, what was the prize?"
"It's this piece of pretend candy." Solomon said.
They were fighting over an imaginary piece of candy. Completely melting down and driving each other to tears over something completely fictional. Sheesh. I can't wait until they're teenagers.
