oops.

poor lass.  the eldest is asleep on my knee.

two sick girls.  one tired and wrung out dad.

im such an asshole.

Nope.  It happens.

the fact that you feel like an asshole will keep you from ever doing it again.  You're not satan, just a tired human.

> keep you from ever doing it again.

HAHAHAH HAAAAAAAA HO! HAHAHA ! HHHA!

Let me no infuriating little rug rats running around chez dcawvive.  In my view, it's not a family without a little unreasonable behavior from time to time.  If dad isn't flawed, the lasses will be starved for source material during the precious teenage years.

Why the "youngest vs oldest" thing?  They're twins.

<shrug> there is 5 mins apart so technically its accurate, and I need _some_ way to distinguish them here on CoT.

Thing 1 & Thing 2?

ahh, but then how would you know which is which?

Well clearly, Thing 1 would the the eldest.  But if you DID call them that, people would be all over you for making your children into Things.

I think "eldest" is not a bad thing to say at all.

"But if you DID call them that, people would be all over you for making your children into Things."

?

That's the *only* reason it's worth doing.

ok, Im convinced.  Thing 1 and Thing 2 it is.

You can all spend the rest of your lives wondering which I am using to refer to the eldest.

muah ha ha ha ha ha

Actually it would be the "elder" and the "younger" until #3 happens along.

Carry on.
