So I have to hear the week’s events from them today, my day off. They told me that a fight broke out with them and three other girls two houses over after a “cheer off.” All involved are between 6 and 10. Anyway, it appears that my girls were out front doing some cheerleading antics when the other girls saw them and started edging down toward my house. They met and had a stare down. My daughters told me they gave a cheer that went something like this:

“My mommy’s short and fat
She has a butt like that.
And when she cross the street
Cars go beep, beep, beep.”

The best the other girls could come up with was a cartwheel and I guess my daughters mocked them and the fight started. My oldest daughter decided to start throwing things after them like her doll, the yard broom and a few other things and told them to “take their crap with them.” My other daughter picked up yard mulch and started throwing it after them. From what I understand the other girl’s mother came to my house, but no one opened the door. I have no idea what started this feud, but it has been going on for about a year now. When my girls are out in front of the house and those other girls are out there, they usually look at each other and cut their eyes and snarl at each other. Because they are kids and don’t hold eternal grudges like adults, they will play with each other, but eventually a fight will break out and then I will hear about it. It’s somewhat funny, but then again I don’t want my girls growing up to be little thugs.

I also heard my daughter say that one of the other girls said something about her (my daughter’s) mother and my daughter responded with:

“Uh uh. You don’t know my mother like that!”

In other news, they were suspended from after care for two days because they ganged up on some fat boy and stomped him. According to their version, the little boy is always messing with them. My son usually defends them but he was not around, but he did confirm the fact that the little boy is a prankster so I don’t fault them for kicking his ass. My adorable daughters ain ‘t joking.
