Two kids: pa and I grip one roughly (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
pigeon pair
'two kids' is the definition.
(term for a boy and girl)
'pa and i grip one roughly' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'roughly' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'grip'+'one'='igripone'
'pa' put after 'igripone' is 'igriponepa'.
'igriponepa' anagrammed gives 'PIGEON PAIR'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
