I just had to share this exerpt from rocksinmydryer.typepad.com, it made me laugh and also glad that I am not the only one with fighting children. :) The author was listing all the catch phrases that mom's use and this was the second one.
"I am my brother's keeper."
My Hubs initiated this one with our boys--it's taken (very loosely) from Scripture. He has given them numerous rousing speeches about the virtues of brotherhood--really, you can almost hear the violins playing the background. In moments of brotherly bickering Hubs has been known to call out, "I am?...." and the boys chant back (sometimes through gritted teeth) "..my brother's keeper."
We're going to conveniently ignore that the Scripture being referenced is, in fact, the story of one brother murdering another. Though there are days when that seems all too relevant.
