Tell me about Ruckus and Rowdy

"Tell me about Ruckus and Rowdy daddy, " Marcus asked the other night.  I think it had been at least a month since I made up one of those bed time stories, and this time the two protagonists where Ruckus and his sister Rowdy.  Some time I'll have to ask Marcus if he thinks their names sound like his and his sisters.

"Ruckus and Rowdy, were brother and sister, and they were naughty.  When dinner time came, they would jump out of their seats, and run around shouting with outside voices.  Rowdy wouldn't eat her vegetables and Ruckus would throw his empty plate on the floor.  When Ruckus and Rowdy went to school, they wouldn't share, and they would take the toys that other boys and girls were playing with.  Ruckus and Rowdy were sad because no one wanted to play with them."

"Rowdy," Ruckus said, "how come nobody wants to play with us."

"I donno, " Rowdy responded.  "Do you think it's because we don't listen to our teachers and to mommy?"

"Maybe, " said Ruckus, "we should be nice and helpful."

So the next day Ruckus and Rowdy were very helpful, and shared their toys.  They both ate their whole supper, and their mom was so happy, that they both got to have a popsicle.  When the arrived at school, everyone was happy to see them, and they all played together and had a wonderful time.

Marcus slept really good that night.
