The Bickersons Revisited ________________________________________________________________

Riley has bronchitis and Emily started coughing. Oh, Lord! Save us from infection! This is nuts. NO ONE is more careful about washing their hands then Emily. If she can get the funk, anyone can.

While Riley and I have been sick, Maggie has taken over kitchen duty and she's done pretty well too! Michael had Emily and Timmy take care of the dishes tonight.

"That doesn't go there, Tim."

"But it fits."

"That's NOT where it belongs. Mom keeps it over there."

"Fine."

"Did you rinse that plate off? I didn't see you wash it."

"I rinsed it."

"But I didn't SEE you rinse it. Dad said to rinse them off before putting them in the dishwasher."

"I rinsed it, Em," irritation in his voice.

And so it went... For fifteen minutes. Bickering and fussing at each other. I was trying SO hard not to laugh. They sound just like my grandparents used to. If they weren't brother and sister, they'd make a lovely married couple someday.
