Madeline came running upstairs today screaming and crying, followed by a smugly walking yet quiet Aidan.
"Aidan HIT me!" she shrieked in-between gasping breaths.
"Aidan, it is not okay to hit your sister," I said, calmly, not even bothering to turn around. (Been here, done this...) Madeline immediately stopped her fit and ran back to play with Lily.
"But she wouldn't do what I told her to do," he complained (for the sake of argument).
"Well Aidan, that is not a good reason to hit your sister," I replied.
After a few seconds of silent contemplation Aidan asked: "Well Mom, what would be a good reason to hit my sister?"
Doh.
