What do your children like to do when they start a fight?

My kids like to call each other names. That really grates on me because as one throws a name at the other, the offended will be ever ready to respond on a grander scale. It may start with a simple word like "Monster" that can morphed into "You stupid, ugly, smelly, (what have you)...Monster".

Now you get the picture?

To stop one from being goaded to call the other names, I asked, "Are you the Botak (Bald Headed) King?". The idea came from a fairy tale I read as a kid and have shared with them.
