Kids will fight over anything
Within the last couple of days we’ve gotten two different toy catalogs. One from Target and one from Walmart. I decided instead of tossing them I’d let the boys search through them and dream. I figured it would keep them very busy and I was right. Two nights ago before bed Count Dooku busied himself reading the detailed descriptions underneath each and every toy. Obi Wan spent a fair amount of time looking through it on Sunday, calling me over whenever he saw a really cool toy he just HAD to tell me about. Then yesterday the boys were browsing through it yet again, together:
Count Dooku: Mom, I want this Hot Wheel track. It. Is. So. Awesome!
Me: Mmm Hmmm. Looks like fun.
Count Dooku: So can I get it for Christmas?
Me: Maybe
Obi Wan: Yeah mom, I wanna Hot Wheews twack too! And a hot Wheews ca!!
Count Dooku: Yeah mom. I’m just a Hot Wheels fan!
Me: Really?
Obi Wan: Yeah, me too!
Count Dooku: No you’re not Obi Wan. Only 6 year old boys can be Hot Wheels fans.
Obi Wan: Mom, Count Dooku say I can’t be a Hot Wheews fan!
Me: Of course you can. Count Dooku stop making up silly rules.
Count Dooku: Well, you can’t play with my Hot Wheels track if I get it for Christmas
Obi Wan: Yes huh!
Count Dooku: Nuh Uh!
Obi Wan: Yes huh!
Count Dooku: Nuh Uh!
Obi Wan (close to tears): Moooooom!! Count Dooku said I can’t pway wif da Hot Wheews twack if we get it for Chwismas!!!
Me (exasperated): Boys! You’re fighting over something we don’t even own!
Maybe next time I’ll think twice about handing them the toy catalog.
:heart: 
LOL? Wow, that situation is just a tad bit disturbing, isn’t it? I’ve let my kids leaf through catalogs recently, but luckily we haven’t quite had that sort of scene. Maybe when my oldest is 6. ;) I can totally picture, it though, and it’s not a pretty thought. For now, I just get to deal with “I want THIS toy!!” and “What does it DO??” over and over and over and over again.

My kids have the same fight…with all sorts of variations.
“No Aaron, you can’t love mommy, you have to love Daddy cause I love Mommy.”
Ugh!

Boy do siblings know how to push each other’s buttons. And while it’s exasperating for the mother…it’s a really nice chuckle for an observer and fellow mommy.
