The girls are going through a phase where the rhyme everything, whether the rhyme is a real word or not.

We're at Les Schwab sorting out a battery issue and I'm talking to the guy about switching between cars. A starts sing-songing loudly, "switchin' bitchin'! switchin' bitchin'"! I'm red faced and quietly tell her, "bitchin' is a naughty word, so let's not rhyme with that, ok?" She starts crying out of embarrassment. Other customers are looking at us funny.

W says loudly, "what does bitchin' mean?" I say, "it's a mean word to describe a woman...we can talk more about it later." I look back at the guy helping me who is cracking up - he says, "it's ok, I have 3 and 5 year olds."

The girls are playing a game where A is W's prisoner. A is sitting on a stool with her hands behind her back while W walks in circles around her.

W, bellowing: SILENCE! Rule #1 is that you are slient to listen to my rules. Rule #2 is that you do not escape. Rule #3 is that you go to Bad School.

A: What's Bad School?

W: SILENCE! Bad School is where you learn bad things from me. Now get our your book and draw a bad picture of Rapunzel with her bad hair.
