I thought I was helping.

Julianna (12) and Isabella (10) are battling over the TV remote.

Words are exchanged.  Insults hurled.  Threats are made.

Me:  Please, girls! Stop!  Play nice or the TV goes off.

Girls, to Me (In Stereo):  Shush!

Shush!

Sisterly bonds being built, I suppose.

I’m Ok with being the bad guy.
