Often my children play “rock, paper, scissors” to resolve disputes among themselves. It’s an arbitrary mediator that I resort to whenever I have to “choose” someone for a certain task or privilege, etc. because they can’t moan about it not being fair (as much).
A little while back, I overheard Grant and Clark “problem solving” in the hallway:
“Ready? . . . Rock . . . paper . . . God!”
Apparently they changed the stakes a little. Hmm, I wonder who won.

My kids do “Rock, Paper, Light Saber!” I wonder who would win in their minds between light saber and God?

We have rock, paper, scissors, dynamite. Dynamite explodes everything and somehow my kids all keep choosing that one until I remove it as an option. After the first time I made them stop playing with the dynamite option you’d think they’d have dropped it. Nope. Every time we play.
I may just use the God option myself next time!

I’m curious as to what their hand looks like for the “God” symbol!

Oh great, now I’m wondering the same thing. That question has now replaced “what am I going to clean today”‘s slot in my brain (I have limited parking up there).

My husband always says “magical daddy fire that beats everything!”
Until my kids came up with “magical water to put out daddy’s fire.”
Indeed.
