Out doing each other

We ate lunch at Red Robin today and of course the kids got balloons. Brooke's popped during a pit stop then Hunter's flew out his open window. He, who was very tired, lost it. He wanted to go back to Red Robin and get another one. I said no and he just started crying loudly because I was ignoring him. Well Brooke, for some reason (probably because she didn't want to be out done by Hunter), started crying because Hunter was being too loud. But she wasn't just crying, she was screaming. So she was just as loud. For the 20min after that I had to listen to Hunter cry then Brooke scream. It got to be like they were taking turns. I could have yelled at them to be quiet but I couldn't stop laughing (maybe I'm delirious from coming off the least amount of sleep in a week I have ever had). Either way, as w/ everything, it became a contest. Except Hunter really was mad and Brooke was just being Brooke.
