Should I stop a cushion fight?

[Twiglett]

on the premise it might hurt / might not be a good idea

I'm torn

5.9 year old against 2.6 year old but my money's on the younger one

I'd join in. I do when my kids go at it, it means it becomes more fun and never really gets to the "I'm going to thump you" stage.

Oh and it's lots of fun!!!!

no tonight I am mostly being 'lazy sit on my arse on the sofa mummy and directing action through pitch and volume of voice'

Yup, I frequently become sofa mummy. Once you get the pitch right you have now problems.

However finding the right combination of pitch and volume seems to be a mystery!

Stop it at the crucial moment. Can go horribly wrong.

nah, leave em wear themselves out by killing each other.
