“MOM!!!!!!! Madie is being a bucket-dipper because she won’t let me do whatever I want and she won’t let me win at Wii. It’s not fair. I’m telling her what to do and she won’t do it. And then she is being bossy and telling me what to do. Tell her to stop being a bucket-dipper and let me win! She is hurting my feelings and that is being a bucket-dipper.”
“Ainsley.” said with my calm and rational voice as I am trying not to burst out in laughter. “Do you think that telling Madie what to do is being a bucket-filler or a bucket-dipper?”
“Bucket-filler. She is the one being a bucket-dipper.”
“Ainsley. I think that telling her what to do and insisting on winning isn’t being very nice to your sister.”
“Mom. I am being VERY nice. I used my nice voice when I told her what to do.”
Now it is official. There was no winning this argument.
