What is in that Peace Pipe?

First off, HELLO ALL! I've been reading your blogs even if I'm not adding to mine. This working thing takes a lot of time. I'm really enjoying the adventure.

It seems like lately there has been plenty of conflict in my life, between my husband, extended family, and my children. My children have started arguing with me and each other every chance they get. When Konman (whose been learning about Indians at school) gets bored he starts looking for something to argue over and Kirsten8tor just argues and debates because she can(and she is pretty good at it). So after the kids had been arguing about the same thing for the upteen time, I told them for the upteeth time "I don't want to hear about, nobody is dieing or gushing blood, work it out amongst yourselves or else I will send you both to your rooms. Do you remember last time I said this?" (Last time they got this bad I tied them together and made them do chores, if nothing else I enjoyed it!) Well Konman starts trying to talk things out with Kirsten8tor and she(even though she is yelling) doesn't feel heard and fells the need to repeat herself over and over, until he surrenders. Finally he has had enough and can see that it is hopeless, but he wants to get in one last point so he says, "Well, I guess we won't be smoking the peace pipe today." Atleast then she finally quit making her point and gave him a very confused look. I got a good laugh out of that one. I had to chuckle at the thought of "What if they had worked things out? Does he have a peace pipe in his room for just such an occassion?" After the week I've had, my next thought was "Can I borrow his peace pipe? I could use it"
