He probably jumped on Luke, and Luke just fought back.

(It) Could have been worse.

I'm getting the sense that you're all related.

So it's probably best if you work this out at home so the boys can go back to class.

It's just tough when one kid is a little different.

What's weird is that her kid wears aftershave and dresses like a count.

Just sweep it under the rug.

I think you two need to talk it out.

She's the one with the problem, not me.

I just hate it when my two girls aren't getting along.
