Punishment or Torture?

When the kids got home from school yesterday...Braden took a brief trip to "Doofusville" as we affectionately call "mistakes" or "relapses in rational thinking" at our house.
He took his frustration out on Kaitlin by hitting her.
Yes, I know it's very sad...but true :(

We tell him the usual stuff about how inappropriate it is to hit "yada yada yada" and then send him to his room. Mike decided to give him two choices 1. stay in his room or 2. write "I love my Sister" 200 times.

Braden almost choked on the second option but decided it was better than being sentenced to his room for the night. He did it!

Unfortunately he edited the word love out of the sentence and inserted "like". His reasoning for this was that "like" is easier to write than "love". Yea right Braden, we all know that you don't want to appear as if you do, in fact, actually "love" Kaitlin ;O


A sample of the many pages he wrote. I didn't have the heart to make him start over.


Kaitlin's response. Sigh... don't you just love siblings ;)

Classic!!! Brings back memories!! We shared a room altogether once and we were arguing so much dad sectioned off the room with masking tape on the floor!! We are great friends now though, at least there is hope!

I love it...and the picture of Kaitlin with the "sign". It's always such an adventure with little kids...just enjoy every minute!
