Teen Troubles

I'm getting ready to bang two heads together. Why do sweet little kids turn into rotten teenagers?

Last night Malorie and Braden both spent the night with friends. This morning both came in accusing the other of being drunk last night. Both say they didn't drink, but both say the other did. Either one is lying or both are lying, but it's clear they're determined to get each other into trouble.

Now let's see how they like being mad at me for a while because, instead of believing one over the other, they're both grounded. It's going to be a long time before they sleep over at a friend's house again! Even worse is that next weekend they're going to be in for a load of working around the house, doing chores that have not yet been invented. Simon and I were supposed to go away Friday for a night in London, but I don't think we can trust them to leave them alone in the house.
