Rough Day In the Jungle

So the other day I was busy doing something and I heard Alex and Spencer crying. Not being able to figure out why, I got frustrated. I sent Alex to his room to calm down. All he could tell me was Jake burned his mouth, but didn't say anything else. And I had no idea why Spencer was crying. Then I went into the family room and saw my planner all torn up and my keys with a thing of mace on it. Around the sprayer was wet. I asked Alex if that was what Jake sprayed at him and he said yes. I don't know why Jake did it. Maybe he thought he was being attacked or something. I could see that Alex's lips were a little swollen and Spencer's eye and cheek were puffy. I made Alex rinse his mouth out with water and put Spencer in the shower and let the water run on him until he stopped crying. Then the doorbell rang and I was expecting my brother and his family, so I ran to answer the door. When I got back to the bathroom Jake was in the shower with Spencer, fully clothed, and using the toilet plunger to dump water on Spencer's head. Yucky! One good thing is the mace was about 6 or 7 years old so it wasn't as potent, but I threw the mace away. If there was anything left in there I did't want my kids to get sprayed again. I guess I need to keep my keys out of reach too.
