As a parent, I’m not quite sure what to do with moments like these…
Caleb had spilled orange juice all over the kitchen floor this afternoon while I was helping Jacob with piano practice and homework, but neglected to say anything until we were almost done (and it was almost dried). I sent him to his room and scolded him for not saying anything sooner.
After a brief time out I let him come down and watch a show with Jacob, but first got down and looked him in the eye and tried to explain why I had gotten mad.
He giggled.
"Caleb, what’s so funny? Mommy is serious."
"You’re just funny when you’re so mad, Mom!"
Great…
I have serious credibility issues around here. π
