Two is all I can handle

Larry has to work all weekend, which sucks. My only respite is that Maddy is at Shaun's this weekend. You would think having 2 two kids would be twice the work of one.. but you'd be wrong. It's three or four times as much work. Don't ask me why. I guess cause they get each other going.

When you only have one kid you don't have to deal with important issues like who needs to get into the van first. Or worry about who is touching who, or remember who had the orange cup last. You never call your child by the wrong name. And you don't have to introduce your own version of the fairness doctrine and ration out equal amounts of iCarly and Special Agent Oso.

When there is only one kid in the house you don't have to ask your 7 year old daughter why she is fighting with a 3 year old over a hot wheels car. You never have to listen to screaming through the bathroom door because one child is in there taking an exorbitant amount of time and singing, carrying on, and generally making the bathroom seem like the best place in the world.

No, it's only when there are two kids in the house that you must oversee who sits where on the couch or explain why one kids gets to stay up later than the other. Only when you have two kids do you have to pull over on the side of road and threaten to go home if they can't stop hitting each other. Only when you have two kids do you have to stagger bath times in such a way so that you can ensure every one gets hot water.

It's not an easy task... two kids. More than twice as hard as one kid. And this is exactly why we don't have three. If you were wondering.
