Yeah, I was in that club, too. My daughters had quite a lot of stuffed animals and even more Barbies. I went around and counted the Barbies once and there were over 100. They were the default gift from their aunts. When they were angry with each other, something you are lucky not to have to deal with, they would attack each other's Barbies other than the rare occasions when they attacked each other. (Emily was the slugger). There were Barbies with cut off hair or missing limbs. Sisters, they know where to stick the knife in. I told them someday you will be best friends. "With HER?!" But they are indeed best friends. They tell each other things they don't tell me or their mom. With all my screwups, I have done at least two things right. With their mom's participation, of course ;-)

At one point I was the sole referee, living in Chicago with the girls while my wife spent the work week in Wisconsin. It actually went pretty well but that didn't stop them from getting into it once in a while. One morning during the always frantic before-school routine Emily came halfway down the stairs. "Dad! Allie called me an a@@@@@e!" They are now in their early 20s and are both doing well. Emily is an engineering major at UW-Madison, which is no easy gig, and is tearing the place up. And Allie is studying to be a nurse in Milwaukee. The house seems so empty without them. So enjoy the salad days.

If too much awesome coin comes your way, please feel free to sub some of it out to me. Let's just call me highly motivated.
