Let’s set the tone: I asked the girls to give THEIR guinea pigs water. A massive brawl/debate ensues over who will be the one to do it.
Emma (yelling): This is so unfair. Sophia never has to do anything. Why do I always have to do it all?
Me: Lou, please stop speaking to me like that.
Emma: NO! I don’t want to give them water. Why do I have to?
Me: Emma, I’m not going to have this conversation until you lower your voice and speak to me normally
::Emma continues to yell::
Me: Ok, this conversation is over, now you’re making me mad. Give them water now.
Emma: Oh, you’re mad?! I can’t tell. You’re “bootox” made your face frozen
