Even though the twins generally get along and play together, half the time, they are bickering and irritating the heck out of each other and by extension, me. There is a scale. When it is full blown, I have to intervene and really take them to task. If it's just bickering, I leave them to sort it out among themselves.
This morning in the car, they were imitating how I would scold them. And that escalated into Jordan smacking Evan and Evan telling her to "STOP IT" in Mommy tone.
Jordan: Why stop it?
Evan: Because the ambulance will come (We were turning out of the hospital after their dental appointment). Ambulance take Jordan go away.
Mommy: Why would the ambulance do that?
Evan: Ambulance take naughty Jordan go away!
That stunned Jordan a little bit. While she processed it and a garbage truck passes us by, her imperious brother adds,
Evan: Garbage truck come. Throw Jordan away. Jordan 'chou chou' (smelly)
After a while, Jordan (in a small voice): No garbage truck. No ambulance. Sorry Di Di.
Evan- 1, Jordan- 0.

Hope she doesn't grow up always apologizing to him, even when he is in the wrong.
