Tag Team?

Sometimes I think the kids misbehave in a tag team fashion. It seems like the moment I've dealt with one misbehavin' child, the other one acts up. And so on, until all of my intentions to leave for work on time have gone out the window, and I'm frazzled from disciplining first thing in the morning. Do they all conspire together? Do they plan in advance what to whine about? Do they get dibs on which actions to perform (yelling versus throwing oneself on the floor versus simple "no, no, no" responses)? Do they laugh wickedly to themselves in coming up with ways to drive Mommy crazy before 8 am?
