Cole and Franny are unquestionably very close.  On most days, they have more fun together than apart, and refer to each other as ‘best friends’.  The last couple of weeks, however, there has been a rise in the amount of bickering between them.  I suppose it is natural—all relationships have their moments of tension, and every individual has their good and bad days.   But, it is not fun to listen to and I always worry about hurt feelings.  My concern is probably unnecessary, as they make up even quicker than they clash.  And so far, I have yet to see any long term or on-going conflicts emerge.  But, I still don’t like it!
