The Dodge
Posted by Justine | August 6, 2008 | 10 Comments
-I comes into the bedroom crying.
-I: “-J hit me!”
Justine: “Why’d she hit you?”
-I: “Just because I wouldn’t answer her question! I wouldn’t answer her so she whacked me! It’s not fair! She needs a punishment, right?”
Justine: “So, what’s -J going to say if we ask her?”
-I: “I don’t know. I just wouldn’t answer her mean, nasty question, so she hit me!”
Justine: “What did -J ask you?”
Long pause.
Justine: “-I, what did -J ask you?”
-I: “Well, she asked me why I spit at her.”

Oh! That so defintely could happen at my house, on any day among several combinations of siblings. It’s so reassuring to find I’m not alone in the world!

It’s funny how -I tried to make an ally of you right away with the hitting=punishment equation. Good job digging into the situation. Kids.

This would happen at my house, too. Very funny.
Yesterday when I was being a horrible mean mother (by making my kids do chores) my 8-year-old was shouting at me, “Why do you always have to be SO MEAN?!! JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!!” (I declined to answer the question.)

That’s so funny it sound just like my kids and they’re only two and four… I guess I have a lot to look forward to.
