Sleep With One Eye Open

I was washing the dishes from dinner tonight while all three kids were in the office together.  They all wanted to play on the computer, which was a problem because we only have two.  Remember when it was a big deal to have two TVs and now it's not even a big deal to have two computers?  Crazy.  Anyway, Andy started yelling at Amanda to stop whatever she was doing and then he yelled some more and then Amanda got really mad and I heard someone (her) banging on the keyboard.  The next thing I know Andy was carrying Amanda out of the office and she was crying.

I decided to stay out of it since nobody was hurt and see where it went.  Andy and Sarah fight all the time and it usually ends up with Sarah crying, because honestly everything makes Sarah cry, but he rarely fights with Amanda.  So Amanda is crying and yelling at Andy and trying to go back to the office and Andy won't let her.  Eventually I convinced Amanda to come over where I am and Andy tells me that she was clicking buttons like crazy and he was worried she was going to delete things and so he took the mouse away from her and she went ballistic.  That part I had figured out.

I don't remember exactly what happened next but I told the kids it was time to go up to bed and nobody was allowed to play on my computer anymore.  Which means all three of them have to share one computer (you know, the KIDS computer), oh the injustice.  It was about then when Amanda turned to Andy and said something close to, "You are going to die in your sleep".

Andy and I looked at each other with amazement and kind of asked one another if she just threatened him, which it pretty much sounded like she did.  I'm not sure where she learned that, but it freaked Andy out just a tiny bit.  He wrapped his arms around me and asked me if Amanda was going to kill him in his sleep.

I'm pretty sure that couldn't happen, he could overtake her any day, but hopefully he has learned that he should not mess with her.  Now if only Sarah could learn some of that attitude from her we might have a little peace in this house.
