Clay Commotion

Talk about a ruckus! I was making supper last night when things went nuts downstairs! There was general mayhem and screeching that could have raised the roof! This isn't unusual so we usually let them have it out and step in if it gets out of hand. After awhile Honey & Sweetie came upstairs, visibly upset, tear stained cheeks and the whole nine yards. Murray came back with a report, everything had erupted over a clay figure that Lovey had made. Sweetie said she thought she might have been holding the clay bird and that the beak might have fallen off accidentally and that she forgot to tell Lovey it had happened. Apparently the beakless wonder had been discovered by Lovey and a fury like no other came over her and she flew into full banshee mode and that's when the screaming and yelling and throwing started. She decided she'd destroy THEIR clay animals and sent them flying around the room and proceeded to carry on like that for much longer than I'd have expected. It was at least half an hour but not quite an hour I think. We knew there would be no talking to her or reasoning with her so we decided to let her rage herself out. She passed out on the couch from sheer exhaustion I think but lasted through much of our supper! When she woke up she was calmer and went right to bed.

Pre teen is taking a toll on us, heaven help us when they're all full blown hormonal!!!
