Fatherhood

They can get quite competitive (shocking, I know), but the worst part is when the cling-on wraps her arms around my neck and the other tries dragging her off.  Who do you think is getting the short end of this stick?  Tickling armpits or something will sometimes help make them lose their grip, but it also tends to trigger sonic weaponry, which leaves me deaf, as well.  No, I haven’t been hit by one of the flying knees, as I defend against those, first.  Gotta have priorities, right?

My shirt says “You have the right to remain silent.  Anything you say will be misquoted, and then used against you.”  Like when I say “sure, we can wrestle,” but what they hear is “why, yes, I would love some more bruises.”  Kia, wearing a tie-dye dress with a mermaid scale patter (not fish… mermaid), and Arwyn with her sequined unicorn insisted on giving me fancy poses in those brief moments when they stopped bouncing around.
