Last night at dinner the kids and I chowed down while Catherine watched the news in the other room. Scratch that... I chowed down as the kids did the best they could to avoid eating. In trying to divert my attention from the food she had not ingested, Louise began to sing a bit. Alexis was not pleased with this and said, "Weez, no singing at the table!" Louise continued to sing. Alexis yelled to Catherine in French and Catherine yelled back in French.
I can only guess that Catherine told her to stop because she then began to mouth the words to the song very dramatically. Alexis stared at her for a moment, fork in mid-air, and began to do the same, while pretending to sing the song into the sausage on the end of his fork. They literally did this for about a minute and a half, closing their eyes so one could not see the other. Because, I´m guessing the rational was, that if you looked at the other person, you "lost." But this was unspoken and just sort of an inherant rule between siblings. I enjoyed it.
