dear boys,

mommy here. asking you, wait begging you 

to please try and get along a little better today. 

i know it's hard to share your favorite toys, 

especially when you both love the same things. at the same time. 

at that exact moment. when you both have to have it. right now. 

and because i'm tired of playing referee aka mean mommy. 

i'm tired of taking toys away when you can't share. 

i'm tired of hearing "mine" when technically it's mine. 

or nowadays daddy's. 

and mostly because i'm tired. 

and running out of ideas. 

and patience. 

and my gray hair is coming in. 

so please please puh-lease try and be good boys today. 

share your toys. don't push your brother. 

and be nice to mommy. 

or else in a couple of years i will have this blown up.  

poster size. 

and this one too.

i've got plenty of 'em. 

so think about it. be nice today.

but don't forget to have fun. 

love you both.

-mommy
