I came home last night to the girls up in their respective rooms, punished for fighting with each other - common when they are hungry and Brooke decides to try to rile Kara up (which she did by sneaking into Kara's room and then refusing to get out). When they found out I was home, they came down and continued fighting in the kitchen.
Constant "Stop yelling, Kara!" and "Stop pestering her, Brooke!" coming from both Jeff and me, I finally said, "That's it! If you don't stop you'll each get two less Christmas presents!" As if I've even picked any out for them let alone buy them yet. This got quiet from the room.
Brooke came up to me a few minutes later, her eyes swimming with tears and her chin dimpling and said, "Mommy, my actions to my sister have made it so I don't deserve any presents for Christmas." My heart melted. I told her to tell Daddy. Once she did, he scooped her up and said, "Of course you deserve Christmas presents!" Brooke instantly smiled, snuggled into her Daddy, and didn't seem to give it a second thought.
Either she really meant it, or she knows how to play us... you decide.

Ooohh! How sweet! Those two come up with the cutest things!
Grandma
You're in as much trouble as me!!!!
I tried that threat the other day when she and Kara were at it in the car, she told me "Only my mom can take away Christmas gifts"! I said that Grandma can not give as many... She has a lot of logic for such a little girl.
even if it was all show, so worth it :)
