July 20, 2012.
The kids and I were going to the compound and this is what I saw when I got in to drive. The big kids first fight over the front seat. Usually they do first come first serve and I don't hear anything about the front seat struggle they have but not so this time.
I have so many (now fond) memories of my own fights with my brothers over the front seat. Jake usually was the craftiest and 'called' the front seat before Nick and I could bat an eye.
Now this picture was totally staged (I egged them on a bit for the pic) and my kids weren't actually fighting but they were in a sit off and both of them were sitting together on the seat which of course I thought was hilarious. They are both pretty stubborn when they set their minds on something. We ending the "sit off" with 'one potato, two' and Pike won. Tink got to ride home in the front and everybody was happy.
Well mostly happy. Why can't they all just ride in the back? Don't they know how hard it is to drive with a squirrly kid right beside you? Maybe my purse will have to 'call' the front seat from now on.
