When you have four kids, there are two levels in your house. Loud and louder! And fighting is inevitable. What is AWESOME is when your kids grow up in a cuss worthy house BUT know that they'd die if those words ever came out of their faces, so they improvise. I have noticed that the older our kids get the more cleaver they become in their burn tactics and battle vocabulary.
Of course like all kids, ours started out sibling tiffs with JERK, MEANY, STUPID HEAD and LIAR! Then graduated to things like BUTT HOLE, CRAP FACE, and FART SNACK. Obviously a transition during the stages of finding bodily mechanics hilarious! But what has me on the floor rolling over in laughter pains, are the straight up, serious, made up on the whim cracks my kids take at one another lately. I honestly cannot make this shit up! For example, our 6 year old son was screaming about some nonsense because his 8 year old sister was PISSING HIM OFF something fierce. What flew out of his mouth would probably have most kids eating a bar of soap. I, however, found it ingenious! He screamed at the top of his lungs….YOU GLASS-HOLE.
Good cut kid, gooooooood cut! Not QUITE a cuss word, but definitely a very close contender!
The rivalry isn't isolated to the two youngest of our crew. Noooooooo waaayyyy! Some words were being exchanged between, again, our 6 year old son (honestly no surprise...by the fourth kid you just stop trying LOL) and our 9 year old daughter. Now she is the oldest girl, the stern faced, won't talk to you for a week grudge holder of our household. She is the female leader among the youth. He was doing what little brothers do and A.G.I.T.A.T.I.N.G. the crap out of her. So she yelled in his face (literally FACE to FACE close enough to smell breath) you BIG FAT BEEF PIG!
I stopped dead in my tracks, looked at my husband with a face that he could read without words being said. He yelled, "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL YOUR BROTHER?" (with a smirk on his face and trying with all his might not to burst into laughter). She calmly walked over and said, "I called him a Big Fat Beef Pig because he is bothering me and getting into my business."
We looked at one another, looked at her, and said..."Well OKAY Then!" Who are we (except for the parents of course) to get in between this obviously solid youth dispute???? We sat and waited for his rebuttal but instead our son just went up to her and ripped a big fat fart on her. OHHHHHHH Man.....She was PISSED!!
The part about the fart that had me in stitches is this kid has a significant issue with fart smells sticking to him. He had an all out melt down, skin melting off your body style, when he "thought" he was farted on once. He accused one of them of farting on his head and screamed for a good hour on how the smell will never come out of his hair. So, in his mind, his response to her dig was most certainly the win. A Fart Win. Well played kid, well played.
Now you might think, shit this 6 year old is a beast! He is what we can only explain as, ruthless number 4! Our 11 year old son is at an age now where he for the most part stays off the sibling battle field. What he likes to do is instigate. He will initiate shit to get two of the other siblings against each other. He will tell his sister that their brother said she smells like a SHART and then just walk the fuck away and watch the chaos ensue! A true child mastermind and no one even knowing the better. He most certainly causes a good amount of the yelling and screaming in our house.
While most families might frown upon this commentary between the children, we find it humorous and believe that it helps build sibling bonds while promoting creative thinking, gumption and wit. They will grow up to be tough while we will sit on the side lines enjoying the comedy! In all seriousness though, they love and respect each other deeply. They are tight and look out for one another on every level. When one gets a good dig at another, the other two will give props. I am truly looking forward to their debates and arguments as teens and adults. They are sure to become hard core, HA! There is no time to be offended in our house....toughen up buttercup!
