reminds when my daughter was six and got into an argument with her cousin about Easter eggs. She came running down the stairs screaming, claiming that she'd been bitten and showed us the bite mark. My sister grabbed her daughter and was just about to give her a go-along when i said "hang on, there's a gap here in this bite and you lost your front teeth a couple of months ago!". "I know", said my now sheepish girl, "but she did bite me but it's gone now, so I did it myself so you could see what she'd done"...
Before you say it, she takes after her mum.
ha. genius child.



a bit of perspective to go along with the inevitable and justified punishment
