Sugar Ray Has Nothing On These Two

So it happened.  April 4, 2012.
Let it go down in history.  Little One and Missy.  Their first.... FIGHT.
Since becoming a domesticated mother (ie- going soft) I no longer join rowdy dudes to drink beer and watch boxing.  But I have siblings in my care, and so I no longer need to!  I have lifetime ringside seats at our newly-constructed Family Stadium.
 Would you like a play-by-play of the inaugural featherweight match?  Here you go:

It begins early- pre-coffee!- in the morning.
*DING*
Little One is sitting down at the kid table with Her oatmeal.
Mmmm.  Yummmy oatmeal.
If this is a ploy to reel in Her opponent, it's working.
Here comes the challenger- the rookie Little Miss- taking a direct approach from the left.
Little One is starting with a verbal defense strategy which is having...no effect! The challenger keeps on coming! Little One is backed into a corner... She is changing Her position... But Missy keeps coming- wait! She's wobbling! She's faltering! But NO!
She's regained Her balance and is quickly encroaching on the oatmeal!
Little One switches to offense.  She ditches the verbal tactic and WHOA!
STUNS Her opponent with a lightning-quick change-up to a physical strategy! That's right! Little One has delivered a push! The ninja-style sweeping-away of Missy's arm makes the arm go wild.  The momentum is incredible!
Little Miss is THROWN off balance and crashes to the floor!
Her lip quivers.  Her fists are clenching. 
It. is. ON. now!!!
Little Miss is regaining Her footing. She is zeroing in on Her target.
Little One as the defending champion may have been a bit overconfident.  She has let down Her guard! Her left arm is completely exposed!
And Here comes Missy at full charge...She's taken hold of the arm! A battle cry has sounded and-
OH! NO! SHE! DIDN'T!
YES She did folks, Miss's teeth have sunken into Her opponent's arm and things are really getting crazy now.
Little One is on Her feet.  Miss is shaken off and has kerplopped onto Her booty.  Little One is assuming a threatening stance. She's aiming! She's winding up! And-
OH! NO! SHE! DIDN'T!
YES She did folks She has delivered a signature Bop squarely on the forehead of Little Miss, causing Her noggin to clunk into the table! Unbelieveable!
But what's this?!
Little Miss has pulled out a secret weapon!  She opens it up- "MMmmmmooooommmmmyyyyyyy!!!!!!!" 
Little One reels back in horror.  She's flailing. She's foundering.  She has no way to counter this intense attack except to attempt to match it Herself-
"MOOOMMMYYY!! MOMMMY OW OW OW!"  
The crying has commenced.  The carnage is incredible- there are tears everywhere! There is snot streaming! There is wailing and gnashing of teeth! How will it end?!?!?!
*DING*
Time is up.
The judge is on scene.  The points are being tallied.
Results are in and it's...... too close to call!  The match is a draw! The opponents are led to their separate corners to take some time out and have their wounds dressed.
What a way to get things started in the brand new Family Stadium. What a fight! What a match!  Get ready, home viewers.  These two scrappers are sure to want a rematch in the future.  Tune in.
