Tonight I'm watching the boyz (7 & 9) for a bit. They're behind me wrestling to all hell, which is something I'm told that brothers often do--a lot (I was an only child growing up). Curiously and Thankfully, they are both quite Joyous and Playful about all of this. I've already told them a few times that they need to observe certain boundaries, and not get hurt. Just a few minutes ago I offerred a suggestion to make sure they don't get themselves hurt and in trouble:
"Hey, guys, maybe you should, like, have a 'Safety Word' to make sure no one gets hurt.?! ...like 'banana-cream-pie' er something?"
I think they eventually decided on "uncle" or "give" or something.
