Has anyone else felt that you don't really grow up with time or age, you just seem to get bigger?  That's kind of how I felt this weekend.

It all started innocently enough, I mean it was a good weekend all around until that fateful Monday afternoon with a simple game of musical chairs. I had spent Saturday and Sunday indulging myself with watching anime with some of my mom's relatives who came to visit with us. I do like my cousins Kevin, Colby, and Deedee. I don't get to see them often enough but we always seem to have fun when we get together. And of course I love my god-child Nicky . I just happen to think he is the most perfect child in the world but since I'm not his mom, I think that's OK.
Anyways, Deedee and I were put in charge of the little kids while the parents did stuff. I was there with her, Nicky and 5 other little kids under the age of 7.  The first few rounds went OK. The little kids had a lot of fun and there were giggles and laughter. It wasn't until a little incident happened that all the ugly stuff came out .

See, I forgot to mention that Deedee's godchild, Joey was also playing. As ALL AROUND THE MULLBERRY BUSH came to an end, Nicky was able to gain a seat by pushing Joey off.  Now I know that sounds a litle mean but isn't that how the game is supposed to be played? Well, Deedee didn't think so. But she was smart and sane enough to pick a fight with a 4 year old.  Instead she hit me. Now, if you know me, you won't be too surprised that I had to smack her back.  What can I say? I always rise to the bait. Anyways, to make a long story short, Deedee and I ended up in a shoving match which was only broken up when our Aunt Esther threw water on us. And it was she who told the little kids who were watching us, including Nicky and Joey that sometimes you don't grow up with age, you just grow bigger.
