The results are in. The truce reached between Chloe and Sophie lasted about one day. I’m not surprised. Disappointed, yes. But not surprised.
After the girls managed to studiously ignore one another a little bit, we all went to the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse on Thursday. The experience has taught me that state fairs bring out the worst in kids – and adults, too. For the first two hours they went on rickety carnival rides together and seemingly enjoyed one another’s company. They even split the cost of buying a huge package of candy buttons. Not much bickering, teasing or arguing took place because they were too busy to realize they were actually getting along.
