    Um yeah that looks familiar , normally resulting in huge arguments and tears from both parties

    We’re having this already with Big E & Little E, except BIg E is the flouncer and Little E the (innocent) prodder.

    Marvellous photo.

    :D

      I’ll be doing more of these … different arguments, as I catch them.

      Of course I’ll be doing some parenting too whilst I’m not causing arguments for blog fodder … Ahem.

    Can’t you post the next shot…you know…the one where she battered him with her Barbie doll and stuffed him head first into the red toy box beside the sofa…

      If I did that Social Services would have to get involved!

    I remember doing this with my sister and know your daughters frustration. I also know that smug grin quite well too…

      I think she’s used to it so probably ignoring them whilst trying to play on the wii

    My sister & I did this the last time we saw each other. Apparently I sat too close to her on the 2 people sofa & touched her arm. She went mental, hit me & flounced out. She’s 25. I’m 29.

      That is hilarious. I think you are testament to people with more than one child around the country … Buy a bigger sofa people!

      Ha, she does not. It gets worse than that though.

    Heheh. That used to drive my older brother batshit on a regular basis. *snigger*

    Um, because my younger sister did it to him. I was the well-behaved middle kid.

    (I dunno what Innocent Teenage Bystander has on her feet, but I know I want them.)

      Well behaved middle kid … would your older brother and younger sister concur?

      Those furry slipper boots are the finest Primarni I’ll have you know.

    hahahaha! Sooo know all about this one . Bless ! their faces !!!

    So, the innocent teen bystander hasn’t informed them of the much more interesting game to play… “I’m not touching you”?

    You know, where you hand hovers mere millimeters from the victim body, and then you state, “I’m not touching you.” Breaking of personal space is almost worse than physical contact.

      I sense, Scope, that you were never the innocent bystander.

      I think in a years time they will be playing the ‘I’m not touching you’ game. It sounds FAR more irritating!

    My nephs do this all the time… Neph #1 will be sitting playing his DSlite and #2 will inadvertently touch him with his foot. “Grandad, he’s kicking me. Tell him to stop kicking me!” will come the squeal of anguish from #1… What makes me laugh all the more though, is that #2 will then actually start kicking and touching him all the more because of his protests…

    Naughty Aunty PMB!

      It is like a red rag to a bull. She will often sit closer, knowing that he will have to irritate her, therefore fuelling the argument and him getting told off more.

    Oh yes, brilliant and her FACE. I know where she gets that from!
    Was it followed with a demonic “Stop TOUCHING ME” moment?

      Absolutely, then some shouting whilst he chuckled to himself.

    Yep, we get this in bed. Maxi is the culprint. He is a wind up merchant

      She’d just as bad. Sometimes it even starts off with giggles as a game … then ends in tears
