I may or may not have mentioned this before...
...but Tommy and Angelica haven't actually moved moved, they're doing some funky time-sharing thing amongst relatives, so their school week is elsewhere, and they're back here on the weekend.
So they were already over here playing for an hour. Now,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marxdarx is getting a nap, and I'm not about to disturb that with having screaming hyenas over here playing again. So I told them, when they came over again, that marxdarx was asleep, so they could not come over and play right now; perhaps they should try back in a few hours.
Five minutes later, they are back, on the patio, and Little Fayoumis is having a five-minute yelling-through-the-glass thing going on telling them thatmarxdarx is asleep... and they are not getting it. I ask him what the problem is, and he's so frustrated he doesn't have all his words.
I go out and tell them, bluntly, that Marx is asleep, I am not waking him up, they may not play; please go home. That means, now.
They leave.
...I really wish that only Tommy would come over and play. Two-kid dynamics are a hell of a lot simpler than three-kid dynamics, especially when the genders are not the same, some of them are from the same family and some of them are not, and they're not all on the same verbal and cognitive level, never mind not on the same page interests-wise.
