After all of the massive loot delivered for Christmas and Charles’ birthday, we had a big fight between Charles and Alice over playthings. In this case, it was a few of pieces of PVC tubing rejects from padded sword construction that I hadn’t gotten around to throwing away. Unfortunately, it was an odd number of pieces so the two of them couldn’t have equal numbers. This lead to very harsh interactions between them that extended over a day or two, until I took matters in hand and disposed of the tubing permanently. It was all forgotten in a day or two, which counts as a success in my book.
