Why?

Why oh why oh why did I do something as utterly stupid as having kids? What do you get in return? Nothing!
I was sitting in my usual place this evening, doing my usual thing - that being nothing much - when I heard crying and whimpering coming from upstairs. "Oh here we go again" I thought to myself. "The kids are arguing over the PC yet again."
Strangely though, I heard the TV on downstairs in the living room so I popped my head round the door and was most surprised to see the youngest sitting quietly watching TV on her own! Yet the whimpering upstairs was still going on and changing to a wailing which soon moved on to bawling. Now bearing in mind I only have 2 of the little darlings and, to my knowledge, the little shits who live down the road weren't there (we'll talk about the little shits later) I thought "this is most odd." So, I go upstairs to the kids room thinking that maybe the eldest is having a good cry about the recent death of our cat. Nope! She is crying because the kid that she created on the PC game of The Sims won't go to school! ?*%$£^%*??
I have come to the conclusion that my kids just aren't normal. They can't be! I mean, crying over a game that she is playing by herself? It's almost too painful to bear!
