DOUBLE THE PLEASURE DESTRUCTION
DOUBLE THE FUN
To have one rambunctious teenage son was….interesting. To have two – and twins – was stressful. So different, and yet so much the same – and so competitive. She almost needed a counsellor on speed-dial, and Valium in a Pez dispenser. One for her; one each for the boys.
The contractor had said that the cost to repair the “Me first! No, Me!” front door would be reasonable, but would take a week. Their automobile dealer said that the now-air-conditioned car would financially be another matter entirely.
Smart Car???! If they’d been smart, they’d have bought an old Police van with handcuff restraints.

Nice take on that photo, Archon. The story made me laugh.

This tale was about rowdy boys. Could you do one about three ‘angelic’ girls that we could all laugh at? 😳

I never had 3 “angelic” girls, so I wouldn’t even know where to start.

Despite feeling sorry for the mother’s frustrations, I had to laugh when I read this! Well done.

I’m doubtful a Smart Car could possibly cause that type of damage.

Yep, double the fun, double the tidying up, chaos, mess. I can vouch for this – fortunately mine aren’t old enough to drive yet…!

An old police van better than a Smart car? Definitely! In fact, anything’s better than a Smart car! Nice story, Archon. BTW are the handcuffs for the kids or for Dad, to stop him murdering the twins?

Handcuffs for Dad??! Hmmm…. An alternate use that I hadn’t considered.
As long as all three are not chained up together, like a WWE cage match. 😛

Dear Archon,
I raised three boys. Thankfully none of them were twins. I loved idea of Valium in a Pez dispenser.
Shalom,
