When is it my child and when is it our child?

So Sprog is doing gymnastics and in the course of the tumbles, turns and flick-flacks Jenny's ribs are taking a beating.

This led to the discovery that Jenny is having 2 babies one is called 'OurChild' and the other 'YourChild'. These 2 children have very different personalities, OurChild is cute and adorable, has the most darling little hands and is the only one that shows up on the scans. YourChild is more devious and hides away during the scans.

During the day there is also a difference in behaviour, OurChild does funny little kicks, move around and get hiccups, while YourChild treats Jenny's ribs as a marimba, or her bladder as a trampoline.

The strangest thing is that there is already an integral link between me and YourChild. We seem to share the same BPA (Brownie Point Account). No sooner have I earned brownie points, via flowers, chocolates, massage, etc. than YourChild decides to jump on the trampoline or play the marimba and suddenly my BPA is empty. This parenthood is going to take a lot of getting used to.
