Petty Squabbles Novels & Stories

But Sameer became their friend and got along with them quite well but he never let anyone come in between our friendship. Now we four are talking or may I say that listening to the fight of Sana and Sameer. They always fight in such small things as a 5-year-old child. Do you know what on which topic are they fighting? I also do not know. Sometimes they also fight without any topic. Can you believe it, no na, I knew it. "No, you did it," Sana said "No it was you," it's Sameer. "No, you," "You," "Stop it guys," I said a little loud and they stopped.

He saw Sarah quickly glance across at him. “Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you, the rules of Parley are that there can be no violence from either side. It’s about talking, sorting out problems and coming to agreements. I’m looking forward to seeing Grenville’s face when we tell him he grabbed the wrong wolf.” said Pete with a smile. He stole a look at Sarah to see she was smiling at him. “What?” asked Pete, fixing his eyes back on the road. “That’s the first time I’ve ever seen you smile.”

The pain in his eyes almost cracked his eyeballs, "are we back to that now?" "You brought this up." "Do I need to start keeping quiet and not discuss how I feel?" "No, you doing something as low as that when you are full grown adult doesn't sit right in my books." I mused sternly. "Why are we even discussing this?" He bickered, his eyes darting around the room. "You think I will let this playoff so easily? I won't have you acting petty for no reason." "Is that what you call petty? I will show you petty."

"Break up? You two were together last week. What happened?" Scott doesn't take his eyes off the road but his head shakes back and forth slowly. "It was this huge fight over a parking space and whether or not it's acceptable to yell at a person while they're driving. Girls are crazy." He pauses turning a corner. "No offense." I laugh. "None taken. We are certifiably crazy." My own messed up life and thoughts are enough proof.

How complicated could it be? The answer: very complicated. There were tears. There was a dispute about whether a certain child had cheated by not walking. There was a near-fight between two mothers whose sons had landed on the same square. There was a toddler who got loose and ran through the middle of the circle, scattering numbered squares like leaves.

When they were still kids, she’d hoped they would outgrow this phase, but at sixteen, they still fought like five-year-olds. If only they’d stop shouting over each other for a moment, they might actually hear what the other was trying to say and resolve whatever petty issue had caused this. "Guys," June whisper-shouted to not to draw attention to them. "Can you, for once, not do this here? We are in public for god’s sake." Instantly, they jumped to defend their sides of the argument. "He pushed me—" "You stepped on my foot first—" "It wasn't intentional—" "But you always do this! You mess up and call it unintentional—"

The bickering commenced, a symphony of childish squabbles over the coveted breadstick. In the eyes of adults it was a childish fight, but for Aida and Emma it turned out to be a big one. Aida tried to assert her role as the elder sister, attempting to teach Emma about sharing, but the younger one was having none of it. "Aida, you're not being nice!" Emma pouted, trying to win sympathy and tears also started to fill her eyes. Aida, her patience wearing thin, retorted, "I am being nice, Emma. You need to learn to share."

“Why are you taking something that is mine?” Isaac yelled at him. “We shared mine during lunch, why are you not giving me yours?” Emma chimed in. “Mama, Ethan is so stingy. We give him our things, but he doesn’t share things with us” she said, forcefully dragging the bag of chips from Ethan and in the next minute, the scene that followed was chaotic! The trio had dragged the box of chips until they ended up spilling it over the back seat. A frustrated groan left my mouth and I almost yelled. “What is wrong with you three? Why do you have to fight all the time?”

“Petra, are you out of your mind? You’re going to divorce me over something so small?” A few people in the crowd shifted uncomfortably. To Pete, the entire situation clearly felt exaggerated. The way he spoke carried the tone of a man who believed the whole matter had been blown out of proportion. But Petra’s reaction was entirely different. Her jaw tightened, and her eyes burned with quiet fury. “Enough talk,” Petra cut in abruptly, interrupting him before he could continue. Her teeth were clenched so tightly that the words came out sharp and cold. “Just sign it.”

Baby Zetty and the others rushed forward at once. Baby Robbie sighed heavily when he saw them. There was a troubled expression on his face. Jens patted his shoulder and said in an earnest tone, “Did you quarrel with her again?” Baby Robbie nodded. He looked at Jens in confusion. “How do you and Sis Whitty never argue with each other? How do Baby Zetty and Finn never argue with each other? Why do I keep arguing with Hecate? She thinks that I don’t prioritize her enough, and I feel that she’s being overly sensitive. It doesn’t take long for us to get into a severe argument.”
