dibbs

paul and i have this really childish game called dibbs. it goes a little like this. paul says..."dibbs, ash you have to make the bed" or "dibbs, you get to pick the game"...ashlee says..."dibbs, you get to do the dishes tonight" or "dibbs, you're being a meany face". sometimes (i hate to say this), we call dibbs on who gets to pray...eek, i know! what i am trying to say is the person who calls dibbs wins! dibbs has way more power than paper, rock, scissors, physical strength or manipulation. getting into bed is a whole new level of crazy... we both stand at the foot of the bed, because we know the first person to touch the bed will say..."dibbs, i get to hold you", and usually you get to choose the best position to fall asleep in! sometimes i will try to sidetrack him just so i can say it first and win. by now he has caught on and he is very fast at saying dibbs. sometimes it takes us half an hour to get into bed...(while we both are giggling). our poor children...
