Arguing Through the Ages

 It's funny how sibling arguments change as our kids grow up. For instance, a few years ago, a disagreement in the back seat of the car might have sounded something like, "Mama! He touched me!" "No, I didn't! She did!"

Now, consider the argument I heard in the car this afternoon between N and C:

N: "C! Stop being such a cynic!"

C: "Yeah, well, stop alienating me!"

I suppose vocabulary matures faster than interpersonal conflict resolution.
