It Happened Today

I knew it would happen one day, but didn't know when ...
#2 has been taking the brunt of #1's pummeling for a long time now. We had a long, busy day and he got a flu shot ... apparently that was enough for the day. I was fixing dinner tonight and turned my back on the boys (they were playing in the kitchen together ... one had a "fire shooter" which is a "shooter that puts out fires" so I'm told; two was wearing an orange hard hat and trying like hell to be included) and I hear this high pitched scream. I turn around to find #1 frozen in shock and working up a good cry. #2 is looking at me with a look that is priceless. In the words of Mr. Right ... Rut Ro. #2 bit #1 square in the back of his shoulder. He left a good set of teeth marks and everything. I'm not sure if this was #2 being tired and cranky, or finally asserting himself and saying enough is enough. One this is for sure ... the gloves are off.
