Don’t hit, don’t throw, don’t electrocute…

My boys always usually sometimes get along with each other.  I guess it totally depends on the day.  Some days, there isn’t an argument all day long.  Others, the arguments never end.  Most days, it’s a mix.  But what really drives me nuts is when they come together to tell on each other and have an arument right in front of me.  You know those:

Brother 1:  He hit me!

Brother 2:  He hit me first!

Brother 1:  Well, he threw a toy at me and whacked me on the neck!

Brother 2:  I did not!!!

Brother 1:  Yes you did!

Brother 2:  No I didn’t!  And besides, you were trying to lock me in the electric fence!

Brother 1:  What?  I was not!!!

Me:  Heyyyyyyy!  Stop speaking right now.  I don’t care who did what.  Just don’t hit each other.

Brother 1:  Tell him not to throw things at me either.

Me:  Ok, don’t hit and don’t throw.

Brother 2:  And tell him not to lock me in the electric fence.

Me:  Ok, don’t hit, don’t throw and don’t electrocute.

And off they go.  Happy that all the bases have been covered while I try to maintain my stern look and stifle a laugh.  I mean, did you hear what I just said?  My goodness!
