Mee My Mo: My life as I know it, breathe it, live it and love it!

Well, there wouldn't be a term "sibling rivalry" if it didn't exist. So with that being said I will reflect on event that took two days to unfold.

Day 1: Wiley comes down the stairs demanding with a shocked but still slightly amused smile and tone, "Mom you HAVE to get Scarlet in trouble!! Can I tell her you want her?" This phrase comes out of either Van's or Wiley's mouth daily so several thoughts rush through my head: she's stolen Van's phone again and pretended to be Van while texting Van's friends, hmmm maybe, or maybe she has put a hot bagel bite on Wiley's nose while he was napping, or it could be that she poured hot water all over his bed and put his hands in it. It could be that but maybe it is that she is demanding he take a shower before he steps into her room so his germs won't get in her room. Maybe she read Van's diary again. Who really knows, so I stop trying to guess the million things she may have done and just ask, "Why?" Well this was a new one...apparently she told Wiley she had a maggot on her finger but its dead, so she said, "see touch it to see if it's real." He did. It was a bugar. Well I just giggled and stared at him. He was appalled. He asked in a high pitch voice, "Well aren't you gonna get her in trouble." I say with mother wisdom, "I don't think so Wiley, why would you touch her bugar?" Well the obvious response was, "because she said it was a maggot!!" Well of course. I just shook my head while coyishly smiling and said, "I don't think so Wiley, not this time, you know sometimes these things happen to us." He seemed to accept this answer for some reason and so it was over....or so I thought. I didn't know he was secretly planning to get back at her.

Day 2: Now Scarlet comes down stairs and very matter of factly lets me know Wiley IS in trouble (she didn't ask like Wiley did, she just let me know). Why I wonder, and she walks out of the room letting me know Wiley put a bugar on her. Meanwhile she is already letting Wiley know that "I" want him (Oh thank you Scarlet). So Wiley comes in and says, "What do you want, Mom?" (as if he doesn't have a clue). "Did you put a bugar on your sister?" "Yes because she made me touch her bugar yesterday." "No Wiley she tricked you into touching her bugar, you actually took the choice out of her hand by putting the bugar on her, she didn't do that to you." "Well she would have anyway, and I didn't know it was a bugar...I thought it was a maggot!!" "Well why in the world would you touch a dead maggot?!" "Well I have touched a maggot before..." At this point my head begins to spin as I realize and actually hear the conversation I am having. "Ok! Just don't put bugars on people and when your sister tells you she has something on her finger to touch....don't touch it! Scarlet don't trick your brother!" Case closed!
