Of course I always expected that there would be fights and scraps between the two of them, but I was thinking more along the line of the pre-teen to teenaged years. Boy was I wrong.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like they're out every second of their days to man-handle one another, but there are times when I definitely feel like a referee in my home... and they fight DIRTY! The claws and teeth come out, hair is pulled, one may possibly well get dragged from one end of the room to another by the collar of his shirt. Sometimes I don't even understand why they go at it, they just do. And as quickly as it started, it's over. Then they're sitting side by each, playing and yapping at each other, as if nothing ever happened, and they're once again best friends.
I would like to assume this is normal behaviour, but at times the level of aggression to scare me into a cold sweat.
"C" and "R" are very sweet boys, and already much too smart for their own good. Yet a few times of the day, I have to step in between them, set them apart in opposite corners of their fighting ring, and even nurse the odd wound.
Is it going to get worse when they are older? Is it going to become "WWE" here in the abode? Or are they going to mellow, and be best buds?
I'm definitely hoping for the last one.
