I have two daughters. When they were Wallace and Sterling’s ages, one was God’s gift and one was Satan’s Spawn. Be very careful what you wish for Mrs. M…very careful indeed…
True story. I raised 3 boys. Husband’s brother had 3 girls. At their house visiting once, and the sister-in-law and I were preparing a meal. My boys were outside playing and she kept telling me how she didn’t know how I did it, if she had to deal with boys it would drive her insane, etc. Meanwhile, past her shoulder I watched her 3 girls absolutely tear apart her living room, knocked over the recliner and jumped on it like a trampoline etc. I simply said, straight-faced, oh yes, raising girls must be so much easier. Lol.
IMO, when the house is not so brightly illumined that you can see it at night, but only the points of color against the blackness around the edges, that’s way more magical.

You would be so bored with those two well-behaved girls, Mom, that you’d wish for two “different” boys. Well, at least one, like Wallace.

What would the daughters’ names be, Mrs. McClellan? Wanda and Stella?

Don’t look at the boys like that mom. No amount of ‘dressing up’ will fix the situation.
