ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL
The Things have been staging an insurgency over the last few months. It came to a head this weekend. There were temper tantrums for no reason, unauthorized raids on the refrigerator, pitched battles over television access, pet maulings, and other offenses too numerous to mention.
Then, to top it off, Thing Two stayed up till all hours last night, making repeated forays downstairs when she should have been sound asleep.
So, in a surprise move, I transferred sovereignty to LZ very early this morning. This was done in a low key manner, with no fanfare. The Things, though awake, were groggy enough to be taken unawares, and the transfer was accomplished without incident or protest.
I then left the premises for a day at work, confident that the action I have taken will prevent any future uprisings and that peace will prevail.
