Payback

There comes a time in every child's life where they understand quid-pro-quo, tick for tack, what goes around, comes around. Hannah has learned this lesson.

We have a ridiculous amount of toys. They all take residence in what would be considered the "Home Teaching" room. Unfortunately, there are so many toys, no home teaching takes place in that room.

Hannah and Allie have been assigned to clean the what appears to be an explosion of toys. Unsupervised, this activity will take no less than 3 hours and have multiple fights. For whatever reason Hannah justified in her mind, she decided that Allie had offended her and that she would deliver the necessary justice.

If you know my children, you know that volume control is not something they have developed. After Hannah whacks Allie, an ear piercing scream comes from the toy room. This is the signal for Jenny to verify no blood has been spilt, but also a signal to Hannah that parents are on their way.

As Jenny approaches the toy room, she hears Hannah tell Allie, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Here, hurry, quick hit me. Hit me just like I hit you! Hurry, just hit me back!"

Life lesson learned.
