Get ready all.......30ish hours until "Shock and Awe"!
My twins are not going to this Fridays dance because they did not do what was required in order to do so.  So, we'll see what happens. I guarantee it is not going to be pretty. I need you dads to be on standby to give them the dad look, you know the one that says shape up or else. It always worked for me. I never knew what the "or else" would be, but I did not want to find out. 
I'm a master at that look...LOL
We're praying for you. Laying down the law can be very tough...even on the mommies that the kids think are the devil reincarnate. 
I don't even have one of those looks. At least I have not found it yet. I thought just the dads were outfitted with such a thing.
That may be true but right now, I'm the dad as well.  Maybe it's one of the Alpha Wolf powers that I'll lose when I get married...LOL
My youngest, about a month ago, became the tallest in the house. I have known that he would be the tallest since he was a toddler, but my older son refused to believe he would be passed up. When it happened, it took him nearly a week to accept reality. NOW he says, he will always be stronger.  However, someday I fear that will change too. Boys do tend to be quite competitive and my oldest can be quite extreme sometimes. But then again, it has worked for him (two National Championships).

My boys are 3 and half years, 3 pounds, and half an inch apart from each other. Thing 2 is going to pass Thing 1 up in the next few years. Thing 1 is already prepared for this and has no problem with it whatsoever. He feels that if God wants to make Thing 2 taller, then that's the way it needs to be. 
Now Thing 2??? Oy...  Does a happy dance everytime they get measured and he's grown and Thing 1 hasn't.
That boy needs help sometimes.

Here is the update so far.
Twin 1 got a 102 fever last night, so she could not go to school. Which of course means she can't go to the dance either.
I thought Twin 2 would not have wanted to go to the dance without her sister, she is the less outgoing one, but she does, so I will only have to deal with one child rather than 2. Twin 2 told me this morning, " Mom it's not just a dance we are talking about here, it's my life." Oy, the Drama.
I would simply remind her that HER previous inaction didn't demonstrate this kind of importance. If it had really been THAT important, she would have made sure that nothing prevented her from going.
Yes, my answer was very similar.
Don't ya love how kids are able to twist anything they do, up so much, they can convince themselves, that it is someone elses fault. This is my greatest pet peeve, blame-shifting
