What's in a name?

Just the other day Alexia came storming into our bathroom, announcing (ok - tattling) to Tanya that her sister was calling her names.

Certainly there is nothing new with that... it clearly happens more often than we would prefer. For those of you who have kids, you already know that it's important to determine the 'actual' events vs. the 'embellished' events.

This situation could almost qualify to become it's own CSI episode... well, ok, it's nothing like that.

Have no fear! Tanya is on the case and ready to "solve any crime by dinnertime"!

Tanya began the basic fact-finding interrogation to determine if this is a situation that needs to be addressed or whether it will just resolve itself in the near future. The questioning probably went something like this:

Tanya (T): Really? Your sister called you a name?
Alexia (A): (Indignant, annoyed and hoping to cause trouble) Yes!!!
T: Oh. What happened?
A: I was trying to get into the bathroom and sister started calling me names!
T: Where is your sister?
A: She's in the bathroom!
T: Oh. Hmm... what name is she calling you?
A: Everytime I try to go in the bathroom she calls me a word.
T: What word?
A: (Exasperated & sighs) Here! Let me show you!
Alexia storms out to the other upstairs bathroom and knocks loudly on the door.
Mikayla (M): Occupied!
A: Knocks loudly on door again.
M: Occupied!
A: (to Tanya, frustrated) See!?!

Good Job Tanya on solving the case of the Mysterious Water Loo Whisperer. Those hours of watching the Olson Twins Musical Mystery videos have really come in handy!
