When my kids were young these two fought like cats and dogs. Kris always stood up for Bill...Since Bill was about in 11th grade this is the Sister that always takes up for him....Bill needs to remember that.
Last evening while I looked after most of the kids, Bill, Missy, Kimmie, and Kenzie hauled all of the stuff out of my closet and went through it. Missy took control of the $'s with a pen and paper....Most of us owe her, well I think it is only me at this point. Missy got all of her stuff divided from the Christmas Angles,Women's shelter, and for her Son's presents...Bill got all of his pulled out and Kenzie took care of all of ours. Missy loaded all of hers in her car. Then Kimmie and Kenzie came into my bedroom and wrapped while I sat on the bed and instructed. It was hard work. I fell asleep.
Earlier in the day Kenzie had gone with Missy to the dollar store and picked out paper and bows. Missy got 4 sheets of name tags and I told Missy we needed one of them. She went to the car and got me a sheet. I wanted the prettiest ones...Then on her and Benjamin's ride home apparently he asked Mama why she had to give the prettiest tags to Granny. I am sure Missy's reply was something like, I don't know, here is my phone, you can call Granny and ask...I knew I was in trouble when I heard his voice on the line...Either he wanted to spend the night again, and I was tired, or I was getting a chewing out.
He said, "Granny, why did you take my Mama's pretty name tags?" You know, with his mama at his side he has no fear...Without hesitation I replied, " Because Benjamin, I was wrapping your present and I did not have a name tag and I thought, if I did not have a name tag to put your name on it I might get confused and give your present to one of the other kids, and I did not want that to happen!"
As you can imagine I was no longer in the dog house with that Boy. Teach his Mama to try to get me in trouble!

Bill needs to learn never to argue with a Sister...you will never win.
