How to Use Sibling Rivalry to Your Advantage

Me: Ayub… Sulaiman… Time to sleep. Go get ready for bed.

Ayub & Sulaiman: (speaking on top of each other, not in unison) Noooo… Don’t want bed. I want to play. Don’t want Mama…

Me: Go and shishi, brush teeth and change into your pajamas please…

Ayub & Sulaiman: I don’t want. No. Don’t want to brush teeth and sleep. Don’t want (etc etc)

Me: Wow! Who’s going to get ready first? Who’s going to be the winner?

(Ayub and Sulaiman jump up and sprint to the bathroom before I can finish my sentence)

Ayub: Me! Me! I’m the winner!

Sulaiman: No! Sulaiman the winner! Sulaiman is faster!
